Psalms 124
124
The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1“If it had not been the Lord who was on our #Ps. 25:15side,”
#Ps. 118:6; (Rom. 8:31)Let Israel now say—
2“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3Then they would have #Ps. 129:1swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;
5Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.”
6Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7#Num. 16:30; Ps. 56:1, 2; 57:3; Prov. 1:12Our soul has escaped #Ps. 91:3as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8#Prov. 6:5; Hos. 9:8Our help is in the name of the Lord,
#(Ps. 121:2)Who made heaven and earth.

let Israel now say—
2if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3then they would have #See Ps. 56:1swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4then #See Ps. 32:6; Job 22:11 the flood would have #Ps. 69:2; Isa. 8:8 swept us away,
the torrent would have gone #Ps. 69:1over us;
5then over us would have gone

and we have escaped!
