Psalm 124:1-8

(Song of the goings up; of David’s.) 124  If it had not been for Jehovah that was on our side,let Israel say, 2  If it had not been for Jehovah that was on our sidewhen man stood up against us, 3  Then they would have swallowed us alivein their anger against us; 4  Then the water would have swept us off,an arroyo flood have gone over our lives; 5  Then the blustering waterwould have gone over our lives. 6  Blessed be Jehovah, who did notgive us up as prey to their teeth. 7  We feel like a bird that gets out of a fowler’s trap;the trap broke and we are out! 8  Our help is in the name of Jehovah,maker of heavens and earth.
