Psalms Chapter 124

¹A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

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

³Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

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

⁵Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁶Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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