Psalms 124 (NLT)

Psalms Chapter 124 (NLT)

Compare with Version:

¹ A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:

² What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us?

³ They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.

⁴ The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.

⁵ Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.

⁶ Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!

⁷ We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!

⁸ Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
