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.

Psalm 124
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
1Here is what Israel should say.
Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.
2Suppose the Lord had not been on our side
when our enemies attacked us.
3Suppose he had not been on our side
when their burning anger blazed out against us.
Then they would have swallowed us alive.
4They would have been like a flood that drowned us.
They would have swept over us like a rushing river.
5They would have washed us away
like a swollen stream.
6Give praise to the Lord.
He has not let our enemies chew us up.
7We have escaped like a bird
from a hunter’s trap.
The trap has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8Our help comes from the Lord.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
