- Chapter 124 -

Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3
Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4
Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
4
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
