Psalm 124:2-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Had not the Lord been with us,
when people rose against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,(A)
for their fury blazed against us.
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us,
the torrent overwhelmed us;(B)
5 then seething water would have drowned us.
Psalm 124:7-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 We escaped with our lives like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare was broken,
and we escaped.
8 [a]Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.(A)
