Psalms 124

1 You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

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

2 When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

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

3 we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

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

4 [They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

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

5 and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

Then it had passed over self our the waters raging.

6 [But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

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

7 We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

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

8 Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.

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