Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the Lord,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Surely, I am your help in time of need, says the Lord
I shall remember you, says the Lord
I shall defend you.
For I am your God and salvation in time of need
Do not be fearful of the times that have come upon the earth
For I am Lord of all and every knee shall bow before my throne
I am from everlasting to everlasting
Surely, I shall bring my plan to completion, says the Lord
Surely, I shall bring the full number of those I have chosen into my Kingdom.
Come to me says the Lord
Make me your Lord and King
And I shall move in the heavens to assist you
Surely my angels shall come to your rescue
They shall fight on your side
A great multitude shall come to your defence
Amen
