124 If
it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; 2 If
it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against
us: 3 Then
they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 5 Then
the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6 Blessed
be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7 Our
soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is
broken, and we are escaped. 8 Our
help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
