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.

PSALM 124
A Song of degrees. Of David.
1If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say — 2If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us, 3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul; 5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up 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 have escaped. 8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
