OTNT

Ps 124


124:1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side–let Israel say–

124:2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

124:3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;

124:4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

124:5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

124:7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

124:1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, / Let Israel say,

124:2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side / When men rose up against us;

124:3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive / When their anger burned against us;

124:4 Then the waters would have washed us away; / The stream would have passed over our soul;

124:5 Then the proud waters / Would have passed over our soul.

124:6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us / As prey to their teeth.

124:7 Our soul has escaped like a bird, / Out of the snare of the fowlers; / The snare is broken, / And we have escaped.

124:8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, / Who made heaven and earth.
