Psalms

124:1		<A Song of the going up. Of David.> If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
124:2		If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
124:3		They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
124:4		We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
124:5		Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
124:6		Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
124:7		Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
124:8		Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
