Chapter 124
Psal JPS 124:1  A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been HaShem who was for us', let Israel now say;
Psal JPS 124:2  'If it had not been HaShem who was for us, when men rose up against us,
Psal JPS 124:3  Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
Psal JPS 124:4  Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;
Psal JPS 124:5  Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'
Psal JPS 124:6  Blessed be HaShem, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Psal JPS 124:7  Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Psal JPS 124:8  Our help is in the name of HaShem, who made heaven and earth.
