Tehillim (Psalms) 124

¹If it had not been יהוה who was on our side, Let Yisra’ĕl now say;

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

³Then they would have swallowed us alive, In their burning rage against us;"

⁴“Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our being;

⁵“Then the proud waters Would have gone over our being.”

⁶Blessed be יהוה, Who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

⁷Our being has escaped like a bird From the snare of the trappers; The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

⁸Our help is in the Name of יהוה, Maker of the heavens and earth.
