Psalms 124
Psalms 124
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 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.
4 Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging water would have swept over us.
6 Blessed be 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 the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Summary: If the LORD Had Not Been on Our Side
Israel confesses that if the LORD had not been on their side, their enemies would have swallowed them alive.
