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
Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
A song of ascents. Of David.
1If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel now declare—
2if the Lord had not been on our side
when men attacked us,
3when their anger flared against us,
then they would have swallowed us alive,
4then the floods would have engulfed us,
then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5then the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;
the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
