124:1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had not been] the LORD
 who was on our side, now may Israel say;
 124:2 If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when
 men rose up against us:
 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was
 kindled against us:
 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone
 over our soul:
 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
 124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey
 to their teeth.
 124:7 Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the
 fowlers: the snare [is] broken, and we have escaped.
 124:8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
 earth.
