124:0 A Song of Ascents. Of David.
124:1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now 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 would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
124:4 then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
124:5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.
124:6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
124:7 We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
