Chapter 124 Lord on our side

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath NOT given us [as] a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped [as] a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name (of the LORD) who made heaven and earth.
