Psalm 123 - Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

PSALM 123.

¹ If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

² If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us

³ perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

⁴ perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

⁵ Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

⁶ Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

⁷ Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

⁸ Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
