< Psalms 124 >
1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel 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 Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
If not Yahweh who was for us when rose up on us anyone.
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
Then alive they had swallowed up us when burned anger their on us.
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
Then the waters they had overflowed us a torrent it had passed over self our.
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
[be] blessed Yahweh who not he has given us prey to teeth their.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: 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 Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
Help our [is] in [the] name of Yahweh maker of heaven and earth.
