NKJV Psalm 124

1 The Lord the Defense of His People A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side," Let Israel now say-

2 "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;

5 Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."

6 Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
