| Chapter 124 |
1 |
A Song of the going up. Of David.
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 men came up against us; --
|
3 |
They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us: --
|
4 |
We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul; --
|
5 |
Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul. --
|
6 |
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth. --
|
7 |
Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free. --
|
8 |
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. --
