Psalm 124 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Praise for Rescue from Enemies.

Psa 124:1

A Song of Ascents, of David.

“Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”

Let Israel say,

Psa 124:2

“Had it not been the LORD who was on our side

When people rose up against us,

Psa 124:3

Then they would have swallowed us alive,

When their anger was kindled against us;

Psa 124:4

Then the waters would have flooded over us,

The stream would have [fn]swept over our souls;

Psa 124:5

Then the raging waters would have [fn]swept over our souls.”

Psa 124:6

Blessed be the LORD,

Who has not given us [fn]to be torn by their teeth.

Psa 124:7

Our souls have escaped like a bird from the trapper’s snare;

The snare is broken and we have escaped.

Psa 124:8

Our help is in the name of the LORD,

Who made heaven and earth.
