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