Psalms 124

1 If the Lord had not been among us—let Israel say it now—

2 “if the Lord had not been among us when people rose against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us alive when their fury was kindled against us.

4 Then the water would have submerged us; our soul would have passed through a torrent.

5 Then our soul would have passed through overwhelming water.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul was rescued like a sparrow from the hunters’ trap. The trap was shattered, and we were rescued.

8 Our help is in the Lord’s name, the one who made heaven and earth.”
