Psalm 124 Nisi quia Dominus
1 If the LORD had not been on our side, *
let Israel now say;
2 If the LORD had not been on our side, *
when enemies rose up a-gainst us;
3 Then would they have swallowed us up a-live *
in their fierce an-ger toward us;
4 Then would the waters have over-whelmed us *
and the torrent gone o-ver us;
5 Then would the raging wa-ters *
have gone right o-ver us.
6 Blessed be the LORD! *
she has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fow-ler; *
the snare is broken, and we have e-scaped.
8 Our help is in the Name of the LORD, *
the maker of heaven and earth.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
