Psalms 124

Praise for Rescue from Enemies.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1 aHad it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
bLet Israel now say,
2Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3Then they would have cswallowed us alive,
When their danger was kindled against us;
4Then the ewaters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have
Or passed over
swept over our soul;
5Then the graging waters would have
Or passed over
swept over our soul.”

6Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us
Lit as a prey to
to be jtorn by their teeth.
7Our soul has kescaped las a bird out of the msnare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8Our nhelp is in the name of the Lord,
Who omade heaven and earth.
