Psalm 124
Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David for going up to the Temple.

124 What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side?
    Tell us about it, Israel.
2 What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us?
3 They would have swallowed us alive
    when they became angry with us.
4 Their armies would have been
    like a flood washing over us,
    like a river drowning us.
5 Those proud people would have been
    like water rising up to our mouth and drowning us.

6 Praise the Lord!
    He did not let our enemies tear us apart.

7 We escaped like a bird from the net of a hunter.
    The net broke, and we escaped!
8 Our help came from the Lord,
    the one who made heaven and earth!

Psalm 124
New International Version

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say(A)—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
    the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;(D)
the snare has been broken,(E)
    and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name(F) of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(G) and earth.
