Psalm 124
Contemporary English Version

(A song by David for worship.)

Thanking the Lord for Victory

1 The Lord was on our side!
Let everyone in Israel say:
2     “The Lord was on our side!
Otherwise, the enemy attack
3 would have killed us all,
    because it was furious.
4 We would have been swept away
in a violent flood
5     of high and roaring waves.”

6 Let's praise the Lord!
He protected us from enemies
    who were like wild animals,
7 and we escaped like birds
    from a hunter's torn net.

8 The Lord made heaven and earth,
and he is the one
    who sends us help.

Psalm 124
New International Version

Psalm 124

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say(A)—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood(B) would have engulfed us,
    the torrent(C) would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
    would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the Lord,
    who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
    from the fowler’s snare;(D)
the snare has been broken,(E)
    and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name(F) of the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(G) and earth.
