Псалтирь 124

124

A song of degrees, or Psalme of Dauid. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

2

If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

3

They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

4

Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

5

Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

6

Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

7

Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

8

Our helpe is in the Name of the Lorde, which hath made heauen and earth.
