[NAS]  [VSN]  [<<]  [>>]
Psalm 124

Praise for Rescue from Enemies.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”
          Let Israel now say,

2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side
          When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
          When their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have engulfed us,
          The stream would have swept over our soul;

5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

6 Blessed be the LORD,
          Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;
          The snare is broken and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
          Who made heaven and earth.
