Psalm 124

posted 22 Dec 2014, 02:10 by Mark Broomhead
Refrain:Our help is in the name of the Lord.



1If the Lord himself had not been on our side, •
now may Israel say;

2If the Lord had not been on our side, •
when enemies rose up against us;

3Then would they have swallowed us alive •
when their anger burned against us;

4Then would the waters have overwhelmed us
and the torrent gone over our soul; •
over our soul would have swept the raging waters. R

5But blessed be the Lord •
who has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.

6Our soul has escaped
as a bird from the snare of the fowler; •
the snare is broken and we are delivered.

7Our help is in the name of the Lord, •
who has made heaven and earth.

Refrain:Our help is in the name of the Lord.



O God, maker of heaven and earth,
you save us in the water of baptism
and by the suffering of your Son you set us free;
help us to put our trust in his victory
and to know the salvation won for us
by Jesus Christ our Lord.
