1A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
Psalms 124
Psalms 124:1-5
