Psalms 124
American Standard Version
1
A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
Let Israel now say,
2
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
When men rose up against us;
3
Then they had swallowed us up alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
The stream had gone over our soul;
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be Jehovah,
Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
