Psalms

Chapter 124

  1. 1

    If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

  2. 2

    If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

  3. 3

    Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

  4. 4

    Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

  5. 5

    Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

    Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

  8. 8

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