"they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us."
— Psalms 124:3, NET Bible
“Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:”
“Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us: ”
“then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;”
“For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.”
“They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:”
“Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:”
A song of ascents, by David.“If the LORD had not been on our side”– let Israel say this!–
if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us,
they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
