Psalms 124
124
A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:
2If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?
3They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.
4Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.
5They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.
6Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.
7We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!
8Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Psalms 124
124
Psalm 124
A song by David for going up to worship.
1“If the Lord had not been on our side …”
(Israel should repeat this.)
2“If the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3then they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger exploded against us.
4Then the floodwaters would have swept us away.
An ⌞overflowing⌟ stream would have washed us away.
5Then raging water would have washed us away.”
6Thank the Lord, who did not let them sink their teeth into us.
7We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter’s trap.
The trap was broken, and we escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
