1: If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now 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 up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; 4: then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; 5: then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6: Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7: Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 8: Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents.
