124:1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

124:2 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

124:3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

124:4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;

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

124:6 Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

124:7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler`s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
