Psalms 124
Chapter 124 of 150
1 God, the Rescuer of the People. A song of ascents. Of David. Had not the Lord been with us, let Israel say,
2 Had not the Lord been with us, when people rose against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, for their fury blazed against us.
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;
5 then seething water would have drowned us.
6 Blessed is the Lord, who did not leave us to be torn by their teeth.
7 We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare was broken, and we escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
