Then the raging waters would have drowned us

(Some words not found in UHB: then gone on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in soul,our the=waters the,raging )

This is the end of a hypothetical statement that begins with the words “If Yahweh had not been on our side” in Psalms 124:1 and continues with the words “if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us” in Psalms 124:2. It describes a result that did not happen because Yahweh was actually on their side. “The raging waters did not drown us because Yahweh was on our side”
