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
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.
