Psalm 124 Only God can deliver his people

 Psalm 124

Only God can deliver his people

1 If the Lord had not been on our side, let Israel say:

2 If the Lord had not been on our side when men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overflowed us, and the flood would have gone over our soul;

5 Then the raging waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped, as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
