Psalms 123
1A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it
2if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us
3perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us
4perhaps the waters would have engulfed us
5Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water
6Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth
7Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth
