124 “If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
do let Israel say,
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 alive,
when their anger was kindled against us.
⁴ Then the waters would have flooded over us,
the torrent would have passed over our soul.
⁵ Then over our soul would have passed
the raging waters.”
