Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

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

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

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

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

in hap watir hadde sope vs vp.

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

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

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

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

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

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