American Standard Version

Psalm 124:2-8 American Standard Version (ASV)

2. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

3. Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6. Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8. Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
