Psalms
Chapter 124World English Bible
Berean Standard Bible
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
If the LORD had not been on our side - let Israel now declare -
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
then the raging waters would have swept us away.
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
