Psalm 124 – World English Bible (WEB)

A Song of Ascents. By David.

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 up 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 proud waters would have gone over our soul.

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

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
