# Chapter 124
|
||
1 What if the Lord had not been on our side?
|
||
Let all Israel repeat:
|
||
2 What if the Lord had not been on our side
|
||
when people attacked us?
|
||
3 They would have swallowed us alive
|
||
in their burning anger.
|
||
4 The waters would have engulfed us;
|
||
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
|
||
5 Yes, the raging waters of their fury
|
||
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
|
||
6 Praise the Lord,
|
||
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
|
||
7 We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
|
||
The trap is broken, and we are free!
|
||
8 Our help is from the Lord,
|
||
who made heaven and earth. |
