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.
