Psalm 124
NET Parallel NIV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew International Version
1A song of ascents, by David. "If the LORD had not been on our side"--let Israel say this!--1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say--
2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us, 2if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us. 3they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us. 4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5The raging water would have overwhelmed us. 5the raging waters would have swept us away.
6The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth. 6Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped. 7We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth. 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
