If it had not been the LORD who was on our side—
let Israel now say—

Psa 124:2

Psa 124:2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side
when people rose up against us,

Psa 124:3

Psa 124:3then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;

Psa 124:4

Psa 124:4then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;

Psa 124:5

Psa 124:5then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

Psa 124:6

Psa 124:6Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!

Psa 124:7We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!

who made heaven and earth.
