PSALM 123

Had it not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say, had it not been that the Lord was with us,

When men rose up against us, then had they swallowed us up alive.  When their wrath raged against us, then had the water overwhelmed us.

Our soul has passed through a torrent; then had our soul passed through the water that is irresistible.

Blessed be the Lord Who has not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

Our soul like a sparrow was delivered out of the snare of the hunters.  The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who has made heaven and earth.

 Alleluia
