124:1 If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say--
124:2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
124:3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
124:4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
124:5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
124:7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
