Psalm 124

A Song of Degrees of David.

124:1 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
