Thanking for Yahweh’s protection

Psa 124:1–8

124:1 Thanking for Yahweh’s protection

124  A song by David while walking uphill to Yerushalem.

1 Let Yisrael (Israel) now say,

“If Yahweh hadn’t been on our side,


2 yes, when we were attacked

if Yahweh hadn’t been on our side,

3 they would have swallowed us up alive

when their anger raged against us.

4 Then the water would have swept us away—

the torrent would have gone right over us.

5 ≈ Yes, then the raging waters would have gone over us.


6 We praise Yahweh

who didn’t allow our enemies to tear us apart with their teeth.

7 We’ve escaped like a bird out of a bird-catcher’s trap—

the trap’s been broken and we’ve escaped.

8 We rely on Yahweh for our help—

the one who made heaven and earth.
