Chapter 123

The Church giveth glory to God for her deliverance from the hands of her enemies.

1. 1

   A gradual canticle.

2. 5

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

3. 6

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

4. 7

   Our soul hath been delivered, as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.

5. 8

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