Psalms 124 (LSV)
1A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us || (Pray, let Israel say), 2If YHWH had not been for us, || In the rising up of man against us, 3Then they had swallowed us alive, || In the burning of their anger against us, 4Then the waters had overflowed us, || The stream passed over our soul, 5Then proud waters had passed over our soul. 6Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, || [As] prey to their teeth. 7Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, || The snare was broken, and we have escaped. 8Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!
