Psalm 123
1 A Song of Degrees.
If it had not been that the Lord was among us,
let Israel now say;
2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us,
when men rose up against us;
3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 verily the water would have drowned us,
our soul would have gone under the torrent.
5 Yea, our soul would have gone under
the overwhelming water.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us
for a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow
from the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
