Song 124/Thanking for Yahweh’s protection

Psa 124:1–8

124 A song by David while walking uphill to Yerushalem.

124Let Yisra’el (Israel) now say,

“If Yahweh hadn’t been on our side,


2yes, when we were attacked

if Yahweh hadn’t been on our side,

3they would have swallowed us up alive

when their anger raged against us.

4Then the water would have swept us away—

the torrent would have gone right over us.

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


6We praise Yahweh

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

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

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

8We rely on Yahweh for our help

the one who made heaven and earth.
