Psalms

Chapter 123

  1. 1

    If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

  2. 2

    If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

  3. 3

    Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

  4. 4

    Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

  5. 5

    Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

  6. 6

    Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

  7. 7

    Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

  8. 8

    Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
