Salmos 124

The Lord the Defense of His People

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 "If it had not been the Lord who was on our *Ps. 25:15side,"

*Ps. 118:6; (Rom. 8:31)Let Israel now say—

2 "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,

When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have *Ps. 129:1swallowed us alive,

When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,

The stream would have gone over our soul;

5 Then the swollen waters

Would have gone over our soul."

6 Blessed be the Lord,

Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 *Num. 16:30; Ps. 56:1, 2; 57:3; Prov. 1:12Our soul has escaped *Ps. 91:3as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;

The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 *Prov. 6:5; Hos. 9:8Our help is in the name of the Lord,

*(Ps. 121:2)Who made heaven and earth.
