Psalm 124
A Song of Ascents. By David.
[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 the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
