Psalms124

Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD

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