Psalms 123

1If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say; 1

2if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us; 1

3verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: 1

4verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent. 1

5Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water. 1

6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth. 1

7Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered. 1

8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
