Psalms 124
124
The Lord Saves His People
A song for going up to worship. Of David.
1What if the Lord had not been on our side?
(Let Israel repeat this.)
2What if the Lord had not been on our side
when men attacked us?
3When they were angry with us,
they would have swallowed us alive.
4They would have been like a flood drowning us.
They would have poured over us like a river.
5They would have swept us away like a mighty stream.
6Praise the Lord.
He did not let them chew us up.
7We have escaped like a bird
from the hunter’s trap.
The trap has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8Our help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

Psalms 124
124
God the Protector of his People#Ps 124 Hebrew title: By David.
1What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Answer, O Israel!
2“If the LORD had not been on our side
when our enemies attacked us,
3then they would have swallowed us alive
in their furious anger against us;
4then the flood would have carried us away,
the water would have covered us,
5the raging torrent would have drowned us.”
6Let us thank the LORD,
who has not let our enemies destroy us.
7We have escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap;
the trap is broken, and we are free!
8Our help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
