124 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
Let Israel now say,
² If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
When men rose up against us;
³ Then they had swallowed us up alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us:
⁴ Then the waters had overwhelmed us,
The stream had gone over our soul;
⁵ Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
⁶ Blessed be Jehovah,
Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
⁷ Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
⁸ Our help is in the name of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
