| Chapter 124 |
1 |
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
|
2 |
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
|
3 |
Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
4 |
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
|
5 |
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
|
6 |
Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
|
7 |
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
|
8 |
Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
