Psalms 124
-
1 A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
-
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
-
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:
-
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
-
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
-
6 Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
-
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
-
8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
