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
A Song of the Ascents, by David.
1Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
2Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
6Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
