124:2 "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
124:3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:5 Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."
124:6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
124:6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
