Psalms 124
124
A Song of Ascents; of David.
1If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
Let Israel now say,
2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
When men rose up against us;
3Then they had swallowed us up alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us:
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
The stream had gone over our soul;
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed be Jehovah,
Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8Our help is in the name of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.

Psalms 124
124
God, the Rescuer of the People
1A song of ascents. Of David.
Had not the Lord been with us,
let Israel say,#Ps 129:1.
2Had not the Lord been with us,
when people rose against us,
3Then they would have swallowed us alive,#Prv 1:12.
for their fury blazed against us.
4Then the waters would have engulfed us,
the torrent overwhelmed us;#Ps 18:5; 69:2.
5then seething water would have drowned us.
6Blessed is the Lord, who did not leave us
to be torn by their teeth.
7We escaped with our lives like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare was broken,
and we escaped.
8#Our help is in the name: for the idiom, see Ex 18:4.Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.#Ps 121:2; 146:6.
