Psalms 124:2-8 ▼

2 If YHWH had not been for us, || In the rising up of man against us,

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, || In the burning of their anger against us,

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, || The stream passed over our soul,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, || [As] prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, || The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!
