Psalm 124 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ “If it had not been יהוה  who was on our side,” Let Yisra’ĕ

² “If it had not been יהוה  who was on our side, When men rose up against us,

³ “Then they would have swallowed us alive, In their burning rage against us;

⁴ “Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our being;

⁵ “Then the proud waters Would have gone over our being.”

⁶ Blessed be יהוה, Who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

⁷ Our being has escaped like a bird From the snare of the trappers; The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁸ Our help is in the Name of יהוה, Maker of the heavens and earth.
