Psalms 124 — WEBC

A Song of Ascents. By David.

124Verse 1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,let Israel now say,^{Verse 2}if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,when men rose up against us,^{Verse 3}then they would have swallowed us up alive,when their wrath was kindled against us,^{Verse 4}then the waters would have overwhelmed us,the stream would have gone over our soul.^{Verse 5}Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
^{Verse 6}Blessed be Yahweh,who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.^{Verse 7}Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.The snare is broken, and we have escaped.^{Verse 8}Our help is in Yahweh’s name,who made heaven and earth.
