Psalm 124:1-8

124
Chapter 124
A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been for us—let Israel now say— 1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If the LORD had not been for us"—may Israel now say—"when men rose up against us": 2 If the LORD had not been for us when men rose against us, 3 Then the waters would have overflowed us; a torrent would have passed over our soul. 4 Then the raging waters passed over our nephesh. 5 Blessed be the LORD who did not give us as prey to them; 6 Our soul has escaped from the snare of the fowlers like a bird. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 7 Our vital life force as a bird has escaped from the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
