Psalm 124

^{Tools
1} A song of ascents, by David. "If the Lord had not been on our side" -- let Israel say this! -- ^{Tools
2} if the Lord had not been on our side, when men attacked us, ^{Tools
3} they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us. ^{Tools
4} The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us. ^{Tools
5} The raging water would have overwhelmed us.

^{Tools
6} The Lord deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth. ^{Tools
7} We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped. ^{Tools
8} Our deliverer is the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
