Psalm 124

A Song of degrees of David.

124:1

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

124:2

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

124:3

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

124:4

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

124:5

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6

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

124:7

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

124:8

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