Psalms 124:2-8 ▼

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

3 they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.

4 The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.

5 The raging water would have overwhelmed us.

6 The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.

7 We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped.

8 Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
