If [it had not been] the
LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
124:2
If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when
men rose up against us:
124:3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
kindled against us:
124:4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone
over our soul:
124:5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6
Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey
to their teeth.
124:7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the
fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:8
Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
earth.
