124:1 {A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say -- 124:2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us, 124:3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul; 124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 124:6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth! 124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped. 124:8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
