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 ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

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

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn 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.

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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