Psalms • Chapter 124

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say: 2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us? 3 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us. 4 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us. 5 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth. 6 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away! 7 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
