Psalms 124

1 If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, now may Israel say;

canticum graduum huic David nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis dicat nunc Israhel

2 If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis cum exsurgerent in nos homines

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

forte vivos degluttissent nos cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

torrentem pertransivit anima nostra forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem

6 Blessed be YHWH, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium laqueus contritus est et nos liberati sumus

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

adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini qui fecit caelum et terram
