Psalms 124

1. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us--oh let Israel say--

2. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3. Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6. Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

7. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8. Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
