Psalms 124
Bishops' Bible
1A song of high degrees, of Dauid. If God him selfe had not ben of our side Israel may now say:
2if God him self had not ben of our side when men rose vp against vs,
3Then they had swalowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs.
4Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule.
5Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule.
6But blessed be God, whiche hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth.
7Our soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we be escaped.
8Our helpe is in the name of God: who hath made heauen and earth.
