Tehillim 124

1 If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu (for us, on our side) ,

now may Yisroel say;

²If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu,

when adam (man) rose up against us;

³Then they had swallowed us up chayyim (alive) ;

when their wrath was kindled against us;

⁴Then the mayim would have overwhelmed us,

the torrent would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh) ;

⁵Then the mayim hazedonim (treacherous waters)

would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh) .

⁶Baruch Hashem ,

Who hath not given us up

as a prey to their shinayim (teeth) .

⁷Nafsheinu (our nefesh) is escaped as a tzippor (bird)

out of the pach (snare of the fowlers) ;

the pach is broken,

and we are escaped.

⁸Ezreinu (our help) B'Shem Hashem

Oseh Shomayim vaAretz.
