Psalm 124
ISV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now say—1What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:
2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men came against us,2What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us?
3then they would have devoured us alive, when their anger burned against us.3They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.
4Then the flood waters would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have flooded over us;4The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
5the swollen waters would have swept us away.5Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.
6Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.6Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.7We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.8Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
