←Prev   Psalms 124 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



124:1  Unless it was the Lord who was for us— let Israel say—
124:2  unless it was the Lord who was for us when people rose against us,
124:3  they would have swallowed us alive when their anger burned against us.
124:4  Then the waters would have submerged us. The torrent would have swept our lives away.
124:5  Then the wild waters would have swept us away.
124:6  Blessed be the Lord, who has not let us be prey for their teeth.
124:7  We have escaped with our lives like a bird out of the fowlers’ snare. The snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
124:8  Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
