Psalms 124:5 in context
Psalms 124:2–8
2
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us,
4
then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the stream would have gone over our soul.
5
Selected verse
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the LORD’s name,
who made heaven and earth.
