124:1 {A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --

124:2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

124:3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
