Psalm 124

1.1 Now Israel may say and that in truth,
"If that the LORD had not our right maintained,
2 If that the LORD had not with us remained,
When cruel men against us rose to strive
3 We surely had been swallowed up alive.
2.Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose,
4 Then as fierce floods before them all things drown,
So had they brought our soul to death quite down;
5 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
Had then our soul o'er whelmed as in the grave."
3.6 Blessed be the LORD Who made us not their prey;
7 As from the snare a bird escapeth free,
Their net is rent and so escaped are we.
8 Our only help is in Jehovah's name,
Who made the earth and all the heav'nly frame.
Tune: Old 124th
