Psalms124

Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD

^1•If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; ^2•If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: ^3•Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: ^4•Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: ^5•Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. ^6•Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. ^7•Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. ^8•Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
