Psalms 124
"
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
"
"
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
"
"
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
"
"
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
"
"
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
"
"
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
"
"
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
"
"
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
"
