Psalm 124:1-8

A Song of Ascents; of David. 124  If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, 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.
