124:1   What if the LORD had not been on our side? Answer, O Israel!

124:2   "If the LORD had not been on our side when our enemies attacked us,

124:3   then they would have swallowed us alive in their furious anger against us;

124:4   then the flood would have carried us away, the water would have covered us,

124:5   the raging torrent would have drowned us."

124:6   Let us thank the LORD, who has not let our enemies destroy us.

124:7   We have escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap; the trap is broken, and we are free!

124:8   Our help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
