Psalms 124 — LSV

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