Psalm 124

A Song of [a]Ascents. Of David.

If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side—now may Israel say—

If it had not been the Lord Who was on our side when men rose up against us,

Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive when their wrath was kindled against us;

Then the waters would have overwhelmed us and swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

Then the proud waters would have gone over us.

Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

We are like a bird escaped from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
