Psalms Chapter – 124 – American Standard Version

1 (Psalm 124 A Song of Ascents; of David.)If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
