# Chapter 124
|
|
1 “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 men rose up against us,
|
|
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
|
|
When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
|
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
|
|
The stream would have gone over our soul;
|
|
5 Then the swollen waters
|
|
Would have gone over our soul.”
|
|
6 Blessed be the Lord,
|
|
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
|
|
7 Our soul has escaped as 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. |
