A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say (124:1) If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us (124:2) Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us (124:3) Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul (124:4) Then the proud waters had gone over our soul (124:5) Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth (124:6) Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped (124:7) Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth
(124:8)
