Psalm 124
ISV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now say—1A Davidic song of ascents. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say--
2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men came against us,2If the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3then they would have devoured us alive, when their anger burned against us.3then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.
4Then the flood waters would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have flooded over us;4Then the waters would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;
5the swollen waters would have swept us away.5the raging waters would have swept over us.
6Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.6Praise the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.
7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, the Maker of heaven and earth.
