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

1 ([Psalm of David]) If Jehovah was not on our side, let Israel now say: 2 If Jehovah was not on our side when men rose up against us: 3 Then they would have swallowed us up quickly, when their wrath was kindled against us. 4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, yes the stream would have gone over us. 5 Then the proud waters would flow over us.

6 Blessed is Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7 We escaped as a bird out of the trap of fowlers (bird catchers). The trap is broken, and we have escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

1 They who trust in Jehovah are like Mount Zion. It is not shaken, but remains forever.
