Psalms 125

DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:	1 They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.
2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us	2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
3 perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,	3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
4 perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.	4 Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.
5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.	5 As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
