Psalms, 124

A Song of the Ascents. Of David.

1 “Had it not been that Jehovah proved to be for us,” Let Israel now say,

2 “Had it not been that Jehovah proved to be for us When men*1 rose up against us,

  1. Or, “earthling man.” Heb., ʼa·dhamʹ.

3 Then they would have swallowed us up even alive, When their anger was burning against us.

4 Then the very waters would have washed us away, The torrent itself would have passed over our soul.

5 Then there would have passed over our soul The waters of presumptuousness.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us As a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is like a bird that is escaped From the trap of baiters. The trap is broken, And we ourselves have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, The Maker of heaven and earth.”
