Psalms 124

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