Psalms 124 — DBY

A Song of degrees. Of David.

124Verse 1If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —
^{Verse 2}If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
^{Verse 3}Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
^{Verse 4}Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
^{Verse 5}Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
^{Verse 6}Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
^{Verse 7}Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
^{Verse 8}Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
