Psalm 124 – New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

  1. If the Lord had not been on our side—let Israel say—
  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 would have engulfed us, the torrent 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; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
  8. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Psalm 124 – King James Version (KJV)

A Song of degrees of David.

  1. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
  2. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
  3. Then they had swallowed us up quick, When their wrath was kindled against us:
  4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul:
  5. Then the proud waters, Had gone over our soul.
  6. Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us as 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 are escaped.
  8. Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
