Psalm 124:5 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 124.

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

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

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

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