THE first reading ISAIAH 35: 5-8

PSALM PSALM 124

If the LORD had not been on our side,

let Israel now say;

if the LORD had not been on our side,

when enemies rose up against us,

then would they have swallowed us up alive

in their fierce anger toward us;

then would the waters have overwhelmed us

and the torrent gone over us;

then would the raging waters

have gone right over us.

Blessed be the LORD!

He has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;

the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the LORD,

the maker of heaven and earth.
