| Chapter 124 |
1 |
A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; --
|
2 |
If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: --
|
3 |
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: --
|
4 |
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: --
|
5 |
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. --
|
6 |
Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth. --
|
7 |
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. --
|
8 |
Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. --
