124:2 if the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us,
124:3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
124:4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
124:5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
124:6 Praise be to the Lord , who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
124:7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
124:8 Our help is in the name of the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth.
8:32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
8:33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
8:36 As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."
8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
8:38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,
8:39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
