Chapter 124 |
| 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. |
