The Response this morning

Psalms
123 (Knox Bible) Psalm 123 (124)
1 (A song of ascents. Of David.)
If
the Lord had not been on our side, Israel may boast,
2 if the Lord had not been
on our side when human foes assailed us,
3 it seemed as if they must
have swallowed us up alive, so fierce their anger threatened us.
4 It seemed as if the tide
must have sucked us down, the torrent closed above us;
5 closed above us the
waters that ran so high.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who
has not let us fall a prey to those ravening mouths!
7 Safe, like a bird rescued from the fowler’s snare; the snare is broken and
we are safe!
8 Such help is ours, the
Lord’s help, that made heaven and earth.
