Psalm 124:1
A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—
Psalm 124:2
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
Psalm 124:3
when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
Psalm 124:4
then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
Psalm 124:5
then the raging waters would have swept us away.
Psalm 124:6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Psalm 124:7
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
Psalm 124:8
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
