<Psalms 124

[1] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

[2] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

[3] Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:

[4] Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

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

[6] Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as 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 are escaped.

[8] Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
