The Book of Psalms
Psalm 123
Nisi quia Domini.
The church giveth glory to God for her deliverance, from the hands of her enemies.
 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, |
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. |
