Psalms — Chapter 124
1
A song of ascents. Of David.Were it not for GOD, who was on our side,let Israel now declare,
2
were it not for GOD, who was on our sidewhen others assailed us,
3
they would have swallowed us alivein their burning rage against us;
4
the waters would have carried us off,the torrent would have swept over us;
5
over us would have sweptthe seething waters.
6
Blessed is GOD, who did not let usbe ripped apart by their teeth.
7
We are like a bird escaped from the fowler’s trap;the trap broke and we escaped.
8
Our help is the name of GOD,maker of heaven and earth.
