Psalm 124 — Psalms 124:1–7

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

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

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

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

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

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