124:1  A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:
124:2  What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us?
124:3  They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.
124:4  The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
124:5  Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.
124:6  Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
124:7  We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!
124:8  Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
