If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, |
2 |
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; |
3 |
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; |
4 |
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; |
5 |
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
6 |
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
7 |
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped. |

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents. |
