📖 Psalms 124
-
1
A song of ascents, by David.“If the LORD had not been on our side”– let Israel say this!–
-
2
if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us,
-
3
they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
-
4
The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
-
5
The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
-
6
The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
-
7
We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter’s snare. The snare broke, and we escaped.
-
8
Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
