Let Israel Now Say in Thankfulness - Psalm 124 Genevan - Treasury 396

1. 1 Let Israel now say in thankfulness
That if the LORD had not our right maintained
2 And if the LORD had not with us remained
When cruel men against us rose to strive,
3 We’d surely have been swallowed up alive.
2. Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose,
4 Then would the tide o’er us have spread its wave;
The raging stream would have become our grave;
5 The surging flood, in proudly swelling roll,
Most surely would have overwhelmed us all.
3. 6 Blest be the LORD who made us not their prey;
7 As from the fowler’s net a bird may flee,
So from their broken snare did we go free.
8 Our only help is in God’s holy name;
He made the earth and all the heav’nly frame.
