Psalm 124 124 Psalms Book 5 Brenton Septuagint Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD 1 Brenton A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say; BSB BSB: A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—
2 Brenton if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us; BSB BSB: if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3 Brenton verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: BSB BSB: when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
4 Brenton verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent. BSB BSB: then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5 Brenton Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water. BSB BSB: then the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Brenton Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth. BSB BSB: Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 Brenton Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered. BSB BSB: We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8 Brenton Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. BSB BSB: Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
