• Psalm 124
• Nisi quia Dominus

¹ If the LORD had not been on our side, *

let Israel now say;

² If the LORD had not been on our side, *

when enemies rose up against us;

³ Then would they have swallowed us up alive *

in their fierce anger toward us;

⁴ Then would the waters have overwhelmed us *

and the torrent gone over us;

⁵ Then would the raging waters *

have gone right over us.

⁶ Blessed be the LORD! *

he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.

⁷ We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; *

the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁸ Our help is in the Name of the LORD, *

the maker of heaven and earth.
