124:1 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side, Let Israel now say," |
124:2 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us, |
124:3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; |
124:4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; |
124:5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul." |
124:6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. |
124:7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. |
124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. |
