PSALM 124

Our Help is in the Name of The LORD

An ode of the steps.

1 Unless it be that the lord was with us -- let [³say ²now ¹Israel]! 2 Unless it was that the lord was with us in the rising up of men against us, 3 then would the ones living have swallowed us in the provoking to anger of his rage against us. 4 Then would the water have sunk us; [³the rushing stream ²going through ¹our soul]. 5 Surely [²went through ¹our soul] the [²water ¹unsubdued]. 6 Blessed be the lord, who did not give us as game for their teeth. 7 Our soul as a sparrow was rescued from out of the snare of the ones hunting. The snare was broken, and we were rescued. 8 Our help is in the name of the lord; the one making the heaven and the earth.
