Psalms 123

The Book of Psalms

124

  A Song of Ascents; of David.

1

If it had not been YAHUVEH who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

2

If it had not been YAHUVEH who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

3

Then they had swallowed us up alive, 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 YAHUVEH, 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 YAHUVEH, Who made heaven and earth.
