A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents. Of David.

Ps. 94:17 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
#
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!

Ps. 121:2
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.

124
The Lord Saves His People
A song for going up to worship. Of David.
1What if the Lord had not been on our side?
(Let Israel repeat this.)
2What if the Lord had not been on our side
when we were attacked?
3When they were angry with us,
they would have swallowed us alive.
4They would have been like a flood drowning us;
they would have poured over us like a river.
5They would have swept us away like a mighty stream.
6Praise the Lord,
who did not let them chew us up.
7We escaped like a bird
from the hunter’s trap.
The trap broke,
and we escaped.
8Our help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
