Chapter 124
- Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord A Song of Ascents. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say —
- if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,
- then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
- then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
- then over us would have gone the raging waters.
- Blessed be the Adonai, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
- We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
- Our help is in the name of the Adonai, who made heaven and earth.
