Psalms 124

1 The song of grecis `of Dauith. Israel seie now, No but for the Lord was in vs;

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

2 no but for `the Lord was in vs. Whanne men risiden vp ayens vs;

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

3 in hap thei hadden swalewid vs quike. Whanne the woodnesse of hem was wrooth ayens vs;

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

4 in hap watir hadde sope vs vp.

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

5 Oure soule passide thoruy a stronde; in hap oure soule hadde passide thoruy a watir vnsuffrable.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessid be the Lord; that `yaf not vs in taking to the teeth of hem.

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

7 Oure soule, as a sparowe, is delyuered; fro the snare of hunters. The snare is al to-brokun; and we ben delyuered.

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

8 Oure helpe is in the name of the Lord; that made heuene and erthe.

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