Psalm 124

Vers 1

Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;

Vers 2

They had us swallow’d quick, when as
their wrath ’gainst us did flame:
Waters had cover’d us, our soul
had sunk beneath the stream.

Vers 3

Then had the waters, swelling high,
over our soul made way.
Bless’d be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.

Vers 4

Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
The snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.

Vers 5

Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in JEHOVAH’s name;
His name who did the heav’n create,
and who the earth did frame.
