Psalm 124
Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh Was on Our Side

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

124 “(A)Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
(B)Let Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,
When their (D)anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the (E)waters would have flowed over us,
The stream would have [a]swept over our soul;
5 Then the (F)raging waters would have [b]swept over our soul.”

6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be (G)prey for their teeth.
7 Our soul has (H)escaped (I)as a bird out of the (J)snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our (K)help is in the name of Yahweh,
Who (L)made heaven and earth.

(B)Let Israel say,
2 “Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When people rose up against us,
3 Then they would have (C)swallowed us alive,

The stream would have [a]swept over our souls;
5 Then the (F)raging waters would have [b]swept over our souls.”

The snare is broken and we have escaped.
