1A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, Now may Israel say;
2If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, When men rose up against us:
3Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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.
6Blessed be the Lord, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Psalms 124
Psalms 124:1-7
