1 A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say; ERV — Psalm 124:1
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: ERV — Psalm 124:2
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: ERV — Psalm 124:3
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: ERV — Psalm 124:4
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. ERV — Psalm 124:5
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. ERV — Psalm 124:6
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. ERV — Psalm 124:7
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. ERV — Psalm 124:8
