124:1 | 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. |
