Psalm 124
Nisi quia Dominus
1 IF THE Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say * if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
2 They had swallowed us up quick * when thy were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3 Yea, the waters had drowned us * and the stream had gone over our soul.
4 The deep waters of the proud * had gone even over our soul.
5 But praised be the Lord * who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6 Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler * the snare is broken, and we are delivered .
7 Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord * who hath made heaven and earth.
