Psalms 124
124
God, the Rescuer of the People
1A song of ascents. Of David.
Had not the Lord been with us,
let Israel say,#Ps 129:1.
2Had not the Lord been with us,
when people rose against us,
3Then they would have swallowed us alive,#Prv 1:12.
for their fury blazed against us.
4Then the waters would have engulfed us,
the torrent overwhelmed us;#Ps 18:5; 69:2.
5then seething water would have drowned us.
6Blessed is the Lord, who did not leave us
to be torn by their teeth.
7We escaped with our lives like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare was broken,
and we escaped.
8#Our help is in the name: for the idiom, see Ex 18:4.Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.#Ps 121:2; 146:6.

Ps. 129:1
let Israel now say—
2if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
3then they would have #See Ps. 56:1swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4then #See Ps. 32:6; Job 22:11 the flood would have #Ps. 69:2; Isa. 8:8 swept us away,
the torrent would have gone #Ps. 69:1over us;
5then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!
7We have escaped like a bird
from #See Ps. 91:3the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!
