Psalm 124

^{Tools
1} A Song of Ascents, of David.

“^(A)Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
^(B)Let Israel now say,

^{Tools
2}

“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,

^{Tools
3}

Then they would have ^(C)swallowed us alive,
When their ^(D)anger was kindled against us;

^{Tools
4}

Then the ^(E)waters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have ^(a)swept over our soul;

^{Tools
5}

Then the ^(F)raging waters would have ^(b)swept over our soul.”

^{Tools
6}

Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us ^(c)to be ^(G)torn by their teeth.

^{Tools
7}

Our soul has ^(H)escaped ^(I)as a bird out of the ^(J)snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.

^{Tools
8}

Our ^(K)help is in the name of the Lord,
Who ^(L)made heaven and earth.
