Psalm 124 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 124:1(LXX 123:1) A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

Psa 124:2(LXX 123:2) if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

Psa 124:3(LXX 123:3) verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Psa 124:4(LXX 123:4) verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

Psa 124:5(LXX 123:5) Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Psa 124:6(LXX 123:6) Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Psa 124:7(LXX 123:7) Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Psa 124:8(LXX 123:8) Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
