124
1 “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,
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 anger raged against us.
4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.
5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”
6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
The Book of Psalms
