Psalms123

Looking Up to the Lord in Heaven

1
A gradual canticle. If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

A Prayer for Mercy Amidst Contempt

3
Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4
Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
