Psalms 124
124
Psalm 124
A pilgrimage song. Of David.
1If the LORD hadn’t been for us—
let Israel now repeat!—
2if the LORD hadn’t been for us,
when those people attacked us
3then they would have swallowed us up whole
with their rage burning against us!
4Then the waters would have drowned us;
the torrent would have come over our necks;#124.4 Or soul; also in 124:5, 7
5then the raging waters would have come over our necks!
6Bless the LORD
because he didn’t hand us over
like food for our enemies’ teeth!
7We escaped like a bird from the hunters’ trap;
the trap was broken so we escaped!
8Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the maker of 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.
