Psalms 124

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