Psalms 124
124
(A song by David for worship.)
Thanking the Lord for Victory
1The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2“The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3would have killed us all,
because it was furious.
4We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5of high and roaring waves.”
6Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
who were like wild animals,
7and we escaped like birds
from a hunter's torn net.
8The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
who sends us help.

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.
