Psalms - Chapter 124 | English Standard Version

  • 1. A Song of Ascents. Of 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 people rose up against us,
  • 3. then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
  • 4. then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
  • 5. then over us would have gone the raging waters.
  • 6. Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
  • 7. We have escaped like a bird from 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.
