Bible Reading - Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 If the LORD had not been on our side - let Israel say:

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;

4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare;

the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.
