Chapter 124
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say ,
2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us ,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive , when their wrath was kindled against us ,
4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us , the stream would have gone over our soul .
5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul .
6 Blessed be the LORD , who has not given us as a prey to their teeth .
7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare . The snare is broken , and we have escaped .
8 Our help is in the LORD ’s name , who made heaven and earth .
