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
PSALM 124.
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2in Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
