Psalm 124

A Song of Ascents. By David.

 ^124:1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
      Let Israel now say,

 ^124:2If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
      When men rose up against us;

 ^124:3Then they would have swallowed us up alive,
      When their wrath was kindled against us;

 ^124:4Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
      The stream would have gone over our soul;

 ^124:5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

 ^124:6Blessed be Yahweh,
      Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

 ^124:7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare.
      The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

 ^124:8Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
      Who made heaven and earth.
