Psalms 124

PSALM 124
First Version
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3They had us swallow'd quick, when as
their wrath 'gainst us did flame:
4Waters had cover'd us, our soul
had sunk beneath the stream.
5Then had the waters, swelling high,
over our soul made way.
6Bless'd be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7Our soul's escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler's snare;
The snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in JEHOVAH's name;
His name who did the heav'n create,
and who the earth did frame.

Psalms 124
124
The Lord Saves His People
A song for going up to worship. Of David.
1What if the Lord had not been on our side?
(Let Israel repeat this.)
2What if the Lord had not been on our side
when we were attacked?
3When they were angry with us,
they would have swallowed us alive.
4They would have been like a flood drowning us;
they would have poured over us like a river.
5They would have swept us away like a mighty stream.
6Praise the Lord,
who did not let them chew us up.
7We escaped like a bird
from the hunter’s trap.
The trap broke,
and we escaped.
8Our help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
