Psalms 124

God helps his people to win against enemies

1If the Lord was not fighting for us, what would have happened? Israel's people, now answer:

2‘If the Lord was not fighting for us when men attacked us,

3our enemies would have eaten us alive! They would have destroyed us, because they were so angry against us.

4They would have been too strong for us, like rivers of waters that covered us,

5They would have been like deep water over our heads that drowned us.

6We should praise the Lord! He did not let our enemies destroy us, like wild animals that kill their food and eat it.

7Now we have become free, like a bird that got free out of a trap. Our enemies lost their power, and we are free!

8The one who helped us is the Lord. He made the whole universe.’
