A Song of Degrees. 124:1 If it had not
been that Yehovah was among us, let Israel now say;
124:2 if it had not been that Yehovah was among us, when men rose up
against us;
124:3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was
kindled against us:
124:4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under
the torrent.
124:5 Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
124:6 Blessed be Yehovah, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
124:7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the
fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
124:8 Our help is in the name of Yehovah, who made heaven and earth. |
A Song of degrees of David. 124:1 If it
had not been Yehovah who was on our side, now may Israel say;
124:2 If it had not been Yehovah who was on our side, when men rose up
against us:
124:3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled
against us:
124:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
124:5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
124:6 Blessed be Yehovah, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
124:7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the
snare is broken, and we are escaped.
124:8 Our help is in the name of Yehovah, who made heaven and earth. |
