Psalm 124 124 Psalms Book 5 Wycliffe Bible (c. 1395) 1 WYC The `title of the hundrid and thre and twentithe `salm. The song of grecis `of Dauith. Israel seie now, No but for the Lord was in vs; BSB BSB: A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—
2 WYC no but for `the Lord was in vs. Whanne men risiden vp ayens vs; BSB BSB: if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3 WYC in hap thei hadden swalewid vs quike. Whanne the woodnesse of hem was wrooth ayens vs; BSB BSB: when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
4 WYC in hap watir hadde sope vs vp. BSB BSB: then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5 WYC Oure soule passide thoruy a stronde; in hap oure soule hadde passide thoruy a watir vnsuffrable. BSB BSB: then the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 WYC Blessid be the Lord; that `yaf not vs in taking to the teeth of hem. BSB BSB: Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 WYC Oure soule, as a sparowe, is delyuered; fro the snare of hunters. The snare is al to-brokun; and we ben delyuered. BSB BSB: We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8 WYC Oure helpe is in the name of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe. BSB BSB: Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
