Psalms 123:3 - 124:8 (KJV)
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us:
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud.
A SONG OF DEGREES OF DAVID.
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick,
when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters
had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the LORD,
who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
3 Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us:
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Our soul is exceedingly filled
with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud.
