Psalms 124
124
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1What if the Lord had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
2What if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us?
3They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
4The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
5Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
6Praise the Lord,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
7We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
8Our help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Ps. 94:17 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
#
Ps. 129:1
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
the raging waters.
6Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7We have escaped like a bird
from #See Ps. 91:3the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
