Psalms 124

A Song of degrees of David.

1If <add>it had not been</add> the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2If <add>it had not been</add> the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6Blessed <add>be</add> the LORD, who hath not given us <add>as</add> a prey to their teeth.

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

8Our help <add>is</add> in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
