Psalm 124
124
Praise for Deliverance from Enemies
A Song of degrees of David.
1If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
now may Israel say;
2If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
when men rose up against us:
3then they had swallowed us up quick,
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 the Lord,
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 the Lord,
who made 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.
