124 1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
let Israel now say -
The Lord is on Our Side. Psalm 124(v123)לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ יֹאמַר־נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
 לוּלֵי יְהוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּ בְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָם׃
3then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
 אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּ בַּחֲרֹות אַפָּם בָּנוּ׃
4then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
 אֲזַי הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּ נַחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ׃
5then over us would have gone the raging waters.
 אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּ הַמַּיִם הַזֵּידֹונִים׃
6Blessed be Yahweh,
who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה שֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶם׃
7We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
 נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפֹּור נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יֹוקְשִׁים הַפַּח נִשְׁבָּר וַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָטְנוּ׃
8Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
 עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ׃
