Psalm 124

Berean Standard Bible

Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD

A song of ascents. Of David.

¹ If the LORD had not been on our side—

let Israel now declare—

² if the LORD had not been on our side

when men attacked us,

³ when their anger flared against us,

then they would have swallowed us alive,

⁴ then the floods would have engulfed us,

then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

⁵ then the raging waters

would have swept us away.

⁶ Blessed be the LORD,

who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

⁷ We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;

the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

⁸ Our help is in the name of the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.
