Psalm 124
Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
A Song of Ascents, of David.
“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel say,
“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When people rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;Pro 1:12
Then the waters would have flooded over us,
The stream would have 124:4 Or passed overswept over our souls;Psa 144:7
Then the raging waters would have 124:5 Or passed overswept over our souls.”
¶Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us 124:6 Lit as a prey toto be torn by their teeth.
Our souls have escaped like a bird from the trapper’s snare;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.Psa 11:2; Pro 6:5
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
