Psalm 124 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 124:1"If the LORD had not been on our side" - let Israel say this! -
Psa 124:2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us,
Psa 124:3they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
Psa 124:4The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
Psa 124:5The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
Psa 124:6The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
Psa 124:7We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped.
Psa 124:8Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
