[2]If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
| [3](124:2) Then they had swalowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs |
[3]Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
| [4](124:3) Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule |
[4]Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
| [5](124:4) Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule |
[5]Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |

[6]Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |

[7]Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |

[8]Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
