| 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. |
