Psalm 124:1-8
Psalm 124
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
Here is what Israel should say.
Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.
Suppose the Lord had not been on our side
when our enemies attacked us.
Suppose he had not been on our side
when their burning anger blazed out against us.
Then they would have swallowed us alive.
They would have been like a flood that drowned us.
They would have swept over us like a rushing river.
They would have washed us away
like a swollen stream.
Give praise to the Lord.
He has not let our enemies chew us up.
We have escaped like a bird
from a hunter’s trap.
The trap has been broken,
and we have escaped.
Our help comes from the Lord.
He is the Maker of heaven and earth.
