Psalms 124 / 150
- 1If the LORD had not been on our side- let Israel say-
- 2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
- 3when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
- 4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
- 5the raging waters would have swept us away.
- 6Praise be to the LORD , who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
- 7We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
- 8Our help is in the name of the LORD , the Maker of heaven and earth.
