Psalm 124:1-Psalm 125:1 - The Lord Is On Our Side

¹ “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say,
²
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
³
Then they would have [quickly] swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
⁴
Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The torrent would have swept over our soul;
⁵
Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

⁶
Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to be torn by their teeth.
⁷
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The trap is broken and we have escaped.
⁸
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

¹ Those who trust in and rely on the Lord [with confident expectation]
Are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved but remains forever.
