 1 If *it had not been* the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

 2 If *it had not been* 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 *be* the LORD, who hath not given us *as* 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 *is* in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
 
[Psalms 123](/study/psalms/123) [Psalms 125](/study/psalms/125)
