Psalms 124: 1 - 8
|
| 1
|
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say --
|
| 2
|
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
|
| 3
|
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
|
| 4
|
then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
|
| 5
|
then over us would have gone the raging waters.
|
| 6
|
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
|
| 7
|
We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
|
| 8
|
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
