Psalm 124
Nisi quia Dominus
1
If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say *
if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
2
They had swallowed us up quick *
when thy were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3
Yea, the waters had drowned us *
and the stream had gone over our soul.
4
The deep waters of the proud *
had gone even over our soul.
5
But praised be the Lord *
who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6
Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler *
the snare is broken, and we are delivered .
7
Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord *
who hath made heaven and earth.
