| # Chapter 124
#### 1 | A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
#### 2 | If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
#### 3 | They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
#### 4 | We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
#### 5 | Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
#### 6 | Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
#### 7 | Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
#### 8 | Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
