Psalms 124

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

A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

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

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

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

They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

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

We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.

Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

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

Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

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

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.

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

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
