Psalms

The Lord Is on Our Side

124 † If the Lord had not been on our side —let Israel say —2 If the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us, 3 then they would have swallowed us alivein their burning anger against us. 4† Then the waters would have engulfed us;the torrent would have swept over us;5 the raging waters would have swept over us. 

6 Praise the Lord,who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth. 7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;the net is torn, and we have escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of •Yahweh,the Maker of heaven and earth.
