1A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;
2'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'
Psalms 124
Psalms 124:1-5
