The One Hundred Twenty Fourth Psalm

Nisi quia Dominus.


IF the LORD himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say; * if the LORD himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
 
They had swallowed us up alive; * when they were so wrathfully displeased at us.
 
Yea, the waters had drowned us, * and the stream had gone over our soul.
 
The deep waters of the proud * had gone even over our soul.
 
But praised be the LORD, * who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
 
Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
 
Our help standeth in the Name of the LORD, * who hath made heaven and earth.
