Psalms 124: (ASV)
|
1) If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
|
2) If it had not been Jehovah 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
