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.

Psalm 124
124
1 A Canticle in steps. Those who trust in the Lord will be like the mountain of Zion. He will not be disturbed for eternity, who dwells
2 in Jerusalem. Mountains surround it. And the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forward and even forever.
3 For the Lord will not allow the rod of sinners to remain over the lot of the just, so that the just may not extend their hands toward iniquity.
4 Do good, O Lord, to the good and to the upright of heart.
5 But those who turn away into obligation, the Lord will lead away with the workers of iniquity. Peace be upon Israel.
