Psalms 124 (kjv)
King James Version
American Standard Version
1 A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
1 A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
