124
1 Let Israel now say, “If the LORD had not been on our side,
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people rose against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger burned against us.
4 Then the waters would have swept us away;
the torrent would have passed over us.
5 Then the raging waters would have passed over us.”
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowlers’ snare;
the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
