Psalm 124 – read and compare multiple versions of the Bible

^[1] If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
^[2] if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
^[3] then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
^[4] then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
^[5] Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
^[6] Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
^[7] Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
^[8] Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
