Psalms 124

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.
