NIVUK ▾Psalms ▾124 ▾Psalms 1241If the Lord had not been on our side – let Israel say –2if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,3they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,5the raging waters would have swept us away.6Praise be to the Lord , who has not let us be torn by their teeth.7We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.8Our help is in the name of the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth.Psalms 123Psalms 125
