| Chapter 124 |
1 |
A Song of degrees of David. 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 hath escaped as a bird out of 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.
