Psalms 124 · תהילים

A Ma῾alot Poem of David. If not for the Lord who was with us, let Yisra᾽el now say –

if not for the Lord who was with us, when men rose up against us:

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us:

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul:

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
