Psalm 124 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

A song of David for going up to the Temple.

¹ What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side? Tell us about it, Israel.

² What would have happened to us if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us?

³ They would have swallowed us alive when they became angry with us.

⁴ Their armies would have been like a flood washing over us, like a river drowning us.

⁵ Those proud people would have been like water rising up to our mouth and drowning us.

⁶ Praise the Lord! He did not let our enemies tear us apart.

⁷ We escaped like a bird from the net of a hunter. The net broke, and we escaped!

⁸ Our help came from the Lord, the one who made heaven and earth!
