Psalm 124
Darby Translation

A Song of degrees. Of David.

124 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us—oh let Israel say—

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.

Psalm 124
New International Version

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say(A)—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
    the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;(D)
the snare has been broken,(E)
    and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name(F) of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(G) and earth.
