Psalm 124:1-8 VOICE

[1] If the Eternal had not been with us- sing, Israel, sing- [2] If He had not been with us when the villains came for us, [3] When their anger flamed around us, they would have swallowed us up alive! [4] Their hatred was like a flood: the waters were rising and would have engulfed us; the streams were rushing past and would have overcome us. [5] The furious waters would have broken over us. Battered and overwhelmed, we surely would have drowned! [6] Blessed be the Eternal who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs! [7] Our souls cry out: "We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler's snare! The snare was broken, and we escaped with our lives!" [8] Our help has come in the name of the Eternal, the Maker of heaven and earth!
