Psalms 124

Psalm 124 ESV

The church blesseth God for a miraculous deliverance.
A Song of 1Ascents. Of David.
1 1If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— 2let Israel now say—
2 if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,
3 then they would have 1swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4 then 1the flood would have 2swept us away, the torrent would have gone 3over us;
5 then over us would have gone the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
7 We have escaped like a bird from 1the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
8 1Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 124
