124:1  If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
124:2  if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
124:3  then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
124:4  then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
124:5  then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
124:6  Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
124:7  Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
124:8  Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. A Song of Ascents.
