Chapter 124

  If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,  

-

  If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;  

-

  Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;  

-

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

-

  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.  

-

  Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.  

-

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

-

  Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
