# Psalm 124 [[Ps-123|← Psalm 123]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-125|Psalm 125 →]] *** ###### v1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, ###### v2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; ###### v3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; ###### v4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; ###### v5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. ###### v6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. ###### v7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. ###### v8 Our help is in Yahweh's name, who made heaven and earth. *** [[Ps-123|← Psalm 123]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-125|Psalm 125 →]]
