Psalm 124
If the Lord had not been on our side, now may Israel say
: if the Lord had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive
: when their anger was kindled against us.
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
and the torrent gone over us
: the raging waters would have gone clean over us.
But praised be the Lord
: who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler
: the snare is broken, and we have gone free.
Our help is in the name of the Lord
: who has made heaven and earth.
