Psalms.
Chapter 124.
A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say — 
If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us, 
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul; 
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 
Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth! 
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped. 
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
