Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

[the] song of The ascents of David if not Yahweh who was for us let it say please Israel.

2 if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

If not Yahweh who was for us when rose up on us anyone.

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

Then alive they had swallowed up us when burned anger their on us.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

Then the waters they had overflowed us a torrent it had passed over self our.

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

[be] blessed Yahweh who not he has given us prey to teeth their.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Self our like a bird it has escaped from a snare of fowlers the snare [has been] broken and we we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Help our [is] in [the] name of Yahweh maker of heaven and earth.
