Psalm 124:1-8

¹   If it had not been the LORD who was on our side
— let Israel now say —
²   if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when our enemies attacked us,
³   then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
⁴   then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
⁵   then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

⁶   Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth.
⁷   We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped.

⁸   Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
