| Chapter 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. |
