Psalm 124

Yahweh Was on Our Side

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have flowed over us,
The stream would have ^{▼▼Or passed over}swept over our soul;
5 Then the raging waters would have ^{▼▼Or passed over}swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be prey for their teeth.
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.
