Psalms 124

¹ A song of ascents. Of David. I Had not the LORD been with us, let Israel say,

² Had not the LORD been with us, when people rose against us,

³ They would have swallowed us alive, for their fury blazed against us.

⁴ The waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;

⁵ seething waters would have drowned us.

⁶ Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs.

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 the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
