We Have Escaped

We Have Escaped

Praise for Rescue from Enemies - Psalm 124 NASB

1 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”

     Let Israel now say,

2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side

     When men rose up against us,

3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,

   When their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have engulfed us,

   The stream would have swept over our soul; (Lit: passed over)

5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”

6 Blessed be the LORD,

   Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. (Lit - as a prey to)

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;

   The snare is broken and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,

   Who made heaven and earth.
