Psalm 124
or Coverdale
Nisi quia Dominus

¹If the Lord had not been on our side, *
let Israel now say;
²If the Lord had not been on our side, *
when enemies rose up against us;
³Then would they have swallowed us up alive *
in their fierce anger toward us;
⁴Then would the waters have overwhelmed us *
and the torrent gone over us;
⁵Then would the raging waters *
have gone right over us.
⁶Blessed be the Lord! *
he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
⁷We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; *
the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
⁸Our help is in the Name of the Lord, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
