Psalms 124:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
