Psalm 124

posted 9 Apr 2014, 02:43 by Ben@theorderoftheblacksheep.com
If the Eternal had not been with us—
    sing, Israel, sing—
2 If He had not been with us
    when the villains came for us,
3 When their anger flamed around us,
    they would have swallowed us up alive!
4 Their hatred was like a flood:
the waters were rising and would have engulfed us;
    the streams were rushing past and would have overcome us.
5 The furious waters would have broken over us.
    Battered and overwhelmed, we surely would have drowned!

6 Blessed be the Eternal
    who did not leave us
    to be torn by their fangs!
7 Our souls cry out: “We escaped with our lives like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare!
The snare was broken,
    and we escaped with our lives!”

8 Our help has come in the name of the Eternal,
    the Maker of heaven and earth!
