124:1 [A Song of Ascents, of David]. "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say, 124:2 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us; 124:3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; 124:4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; 124:5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul." 124:6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. 124:7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
