Psalms 124

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

124:1

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,

A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

124:2

if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

124:3

then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

124:4

then the waters would have overwhelmed us,

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

124:5

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

124:6

Blessed be the LORD,

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

124:7

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

124:8

Our help is in the LORD’s name,

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
