The Holy Bible

Psalms 124


A Song of degrees of David.

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

02 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

03 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

04 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

05 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

06 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

07 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

08 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
