124 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.
