Psalms 124:1-7 ▼

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side — let Israel say —

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,

3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.

4 Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;

5 the raging water would have swept over us.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net; the net is torn, and we have escaped.
