Psalm 124 - New International Version (Anglicised) New International Version (Anglicised)
Psalm 124

¹ If the Lord had not been on our side – let Israel say –

² if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,

³ they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

⁴ the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

⁵ the raging waters would have swept us away.

⁶ Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

⁷ We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

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