Psalm 124

Psalm 124

^*A Song of degrees ^†of David.

^1aIf it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

^bNow may Israel say;

^2aIf it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

When men rose up against us:

³Then they had ^cswallowed us up ^cdquick,

When their wrath was kindled against us:

⁴Then ^ddthe waters had ^eoverwhelmed us,

The stream had gone over our soul:

⁵Then the proud waters

Had gone over our soul.

⁶Blessed be the Lord,

Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul is escaped as a bird ^fout of the snare of the fowlers:

The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

^8gOur help is in the name of the Lord,

^hWho made heaven and earth.
