| Chapter 124 |
1 | A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say), |
2 | Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us, |
3 | Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us, |
4 | Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul, |
5 | Then passed over our soul had the proud waters. |
6 | Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth. |
7 | Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped. |
8 | Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth! |
