Psalm 124

¹If the LORD had not been on our side—

let Israel now declare—

²if the LORD had not been on our side

when men attacked us,

³when their anger flared against us,

then they would have swallowed us alive,

⁴then the floods would have engulfed us,

then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

⁵then the raging waters

would have swept us away.

⁶Blessed be the LORD,

who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

⁷We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;

the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

⁸Our help is in the name of the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

— Psalm 124
