< Psalms 124 >
1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, 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 that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
If not Yahweh who was for us when rose up on us anyone.
3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
Then alive they had swallowed up us when burned anger their on us.
4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Then the waters they had overflowed us a torrent it had passed over self our.
5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
[be] blessed Yahweh who not he has given us prey to teeth their.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
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.
