- 124Now may Israel say, 2If the Lord was not on our side when men rose up against us, 3then they would have swallowed us up quick when their wrath was kindled against us. 4Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul. 5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken and we are escaped. 8Our help is in the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 124
A song of degrees of David.
