Psalm 124
NASB Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995English Standard Version
1A Song of Ascents, of David. "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say,1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say—
2"Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,
3Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
5Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul."5then over us would have gone the raging waters.
6Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
7Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
