Had it not been the Lord who was on our side…

Psalm 124

1 If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel say-
2 if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,

3 when their anger flared against us,
they would have swallowed us alive;

4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,

5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.

6 Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Quotation from the NIV from BibleGateway.com

This psalm was turned into a praise song by Leonard E. Smith, Jr in 1985.

It reminds me why things have turned out well. The Lord was on our side.
