Psalm 124
Nisi quia Dominus
1
If the LORD had not been on our side,
let Israel now say;
2
If the LORD had not been on our side,
when enemies rose up against us;
3
Then would they have swallowed us up alive
in their fierce anger toward us;
4
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us
and the torrent gone over us;
5
Then would the raging waters
have gone right over us.
6
Blessed be the LORD !
he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
7
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;
the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the Name of the LORD ,
the maker of heaven and earth.
