psa 124:1

  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

psa 124:2

  If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

psa 124:3

  Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

psa 124:4

  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

psa 124:5

  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

psa 124:6

  Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

psa 124:7

  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

psa 124:8

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