    The chapter

    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The danger cannot settle on one shape: men attack, waters rise, teeth wait, and a bird slips through a torn net.

    If the LORD had not been therevv. 1–5

    Israel is summoned to declare the terrifying counterfactual. Without the LORD on their side, human anger would have swallowed them alive; then the scene changes abruptly to floods, torrents, and raging waters, as though disaster has several costumes and no intention of choosing one.

    The torn netvv. 6–8

    The LORD has not handed Israel over to the attackers' teeth. The survivors are now a bird, escaping a fowler's snare because the net is torn; the song ends by naming the LORD as help and as Maker of heaven and earth.

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Ps 124:1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare—

    2. Ps 124:2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

    3. Ps 124:3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

    4. Ps 124:4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

    5. Ps 124:5then the raging waters would have swept us away.

    6. Ps 124:6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

    7. Ps 124:7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

    8. Ps 124:8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
