Psalm 124

Berean Standard Bible · 8 verses

Summary

A song of ascents attributed to David, in which Israel imagines what would have happened if the LORD had not been on their side: swallowed alive, swept away by floods. Instead they escaped like a bird from a broken snare, and they declare that their help is in the name of the LORD.

Read Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
