Psalm 124Words: The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, 1887 ed. 1 Had not the Lord been on our side, May Israel now say; Had not the Lord been on our side, When men rose us to slay; 2 They had us swallowed up alive, When their fierce wrath did flame: The waters had us drowned, our soul Had sunk beneath the stream. 3 Then had the waters, swelling high, Above our soul made way. O bless the Lord, who to their teeth Us gave not for a prey. 4 Our soul has, like a bird, escaped The cruel fowler's snare; The snare asunder broken is, And we escaped are. 5 Our sure and all-sufficient help Is in Jehovah's name; His name who did the heav'n create, And who the earth did frame. |
