Chapter 124 | |
1 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
2 | If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
3 | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
6 | Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
8 | Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
