King James VersionPsalms124

Psalms

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.
