| 124.1 |
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, |
| 124.2 |
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; |
| 124.3 |
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; |
| 124.4 |
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; |
| 124.5 |
then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. |
| 124.6 |
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 124.7 |
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. |
| 124.8 |
Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth. |
