Psalm - 124

picture

1 I f it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

2 I f it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

3 T hen they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 T hen the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

5 T hen the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 B lessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 O ur soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 O ur help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
