Psalms 124

1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

1 If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

3 they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

5 the raging waters would have swept us away.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by 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.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
