Revised Geneva Translation

124 If the LORD had not been on our side, (may Israel now say)

⁴ Then, the waters had drowned us; the stream had gone over our soul:

⁵ Then, the swelling waters had gone over our soul.

⁶ Praise the LORD, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth!

⁷ Our soul has escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken and we are delivered.

⁸ Our help is in the Name of the LORD, Who has made Heaven and Earth. A song of degrees
