TheLordthe Defense of His People

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

124 “If it had not been theLordwho was on our(A)side,”
(B)Let Israel now say—
“If it had not been theLordwho was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have(C)swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have[a]gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters
Would have[b]gone over our soul.”

BlessedbetheLord,
Who has not given usasprey to their teeth.
(D)Our soul has escaped(E)as a bird from the snare of the[c]fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
(F)Our helpisin the name of theLord,
(G)Who made heaven and earth.
