# Psalms 124 [[Psalms 123|←]] • [[Psalms 125|→]] --- A Song of degrees of David. ### 1 If the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say; ### 2 If the Lord 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: ### 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: ### 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. ### 6 Blessed the Lord, who hath not given us 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. ### 8 Our help in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
