| Chapter 124 |
1 | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
|
2 | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
|
3 | Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
|
5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
|
6 | Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
|
7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
|
8 | Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
