124:1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

124:2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

124:3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

124:4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

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

124:6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

124:8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

129:1Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

129:2Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
