| 1 | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, |
| 2 | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; |
| 3 | Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us; |
| 4 | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; |
| 5 | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| 6 | Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 7 | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
| 8 | Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. Psalm 125 A Song of Ascents. |
