Chapter 124

Ps 124:1If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
Ps 124:2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
Ps 124:3Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
Ps 124:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
Ps 124:5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Ps 124:6Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Ps 124:7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Ps 124:8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. A Song of Ascents.
