Psalm 124
The godly bless God for a miraculous deliverance.


A Song of degrees of David.


1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side[1], 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[2] us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us[3], the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul[4].

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped[5] 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[6], who made heaven and earth.
