| Chapter 123 |
1 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: --
|
2 |
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us --
|
3 |
perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, --
|
4 |
perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. --
|
5 |
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. --
|
6 |
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. --
|
7 |
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. --
|
8 |
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. --
