Psalms 124:6

Read in context

Psalms 124:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

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.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
