Psalms 124
Reading Psalms chapter 124 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–8
1 A Song of Ascents. By David. 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.
