Psalms 124

A Song of Ascents; of David.

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now 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 alive, 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.
