Psalms 124 : 1 - 8
Chapter 124
| 1 | "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say--
|
| 2 | "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
|
| 3 | Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
| 4 | Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
|
| 5 | Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."
|
| 6 | Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
|
| 7 | Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
|
| 8 | Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
