Psalms 124

Thanksgiving for Yahweh’s Help 1

(A song of ascents. Of David. ) “If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,” do let Israel say,

2

“If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3

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

4

Then the waters would have flooded over us, the torrent would have passed over our soul.

5

Then over our soul would have passed the raging waters.”

6

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not made us prey for their teeth.

7

Our soul has escaped like a bird from the snare of fowlers. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8

Our help is in the name of Yahweh, maker of heaven and earth.
