< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of the going up. Of 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 came up against us;
If not Yahweh who was for us when rose up on us anyone.
3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
Then alive they had swallowed up us when burned anger their on us.
4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
Then the waters they had overflowed us a torrent it had passed over self our.
5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.
6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
[be] blessed Yahweh who not he has given us prey to teeth their.
7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
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, the maker of heaven and earth.
Help our [is] in [the] name of Yahweh maker of heaven and earth.
