< Psalms 124 >

1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: 2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us, 3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, 4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. 5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. 6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. 8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
