1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)

Psalms 124

The Church blesseth God for a miraculous deliverance.

 124:1 ¶ [[A Song of degrees. Of David.]] If it had not been Jehovah who was for us—oh let Israel say—

 124:2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

 124:6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

 124:8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
