PSAL. CXXIV.

A Song of degrees of David.

1 If it had not been Yhwh who was on our side, now may Israel say; 2 If it had not been Yhwh who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6 Blessed be Yhwh, who hath not given us as a prey to 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. 8 Our help is in the name of Yhwh, who made heaven and earth.
