Psm124:1 The LORD the Defense of His PeopleA Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say--
Psm124:2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
Psm124:3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
Psm124:4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
Psm124:5 Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."
Psm124:6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Psm124:7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Psm124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
