Psalms



Psalm 124

A Song of degrees of David.

   1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
   2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
   3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
