Psalm 124

ESV

Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

¹If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—

let Israel now say—

²if it had not been the Lord who was on our side

when people rose up against us,

³then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their anger was kindled against us;

⁴then the flood would have swept us away,

the torrent would have gone over us;

⁵then over us would have gone

the raging waters.

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 fowlers;

the snare is broken,

and we have escaped!

⁸Our help is in the name of the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.
