Psalm 124 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh Was on Our Side

Psa 124:1

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

“Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”

Let Israel now say,

Psa 124:2

“Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side

When men rose up against us,

Psa 124:3

Then they would have swallowed us alive,

When their anger was kindled against us;

Psa 124:4

Then the waters would have flowed over us,

The stream would have [fn]swept over our soul;

Psa 124:5

Then the raging waters would have [fn]swept over our soul.”

Psa 124:6

Blessed be Yahweh,

Who has not given us to be prey for their teeth.

Psa 124:7

Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;

The snare is broken and we have escaped.

Psa 124:8

Our help is in the name of Yahweh,

Who made heaven and earth.
