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. |
