Psalm 124

1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

2 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
