Psalm 124 (WEBP)
[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.

Psalm 124 (KJVS)
[1] «A Song H7892 of degrees H4609 of David H1732.» If H3884 [it had not been] the LORD H3068 who was on our side, now may Israel H3478 say H559 (8799);
[2] If H3884 [it had not been] the LORD H3068 who was on our side, when men H120 rose up H6965 (8800) against us:
[3] Then H233 they had swallowed us up H1104 (8804) quick H2416, when their wrath H639 was kindled H2734 (8800) against us:
[4] Then H233 the waters H4325 had overwhelmed H7857 (8804) us, the stream H5158 had gone over H5674 (8804) our soul H5315:
[5] Then H233 the proud H2121 waters H4325 had gone over H5674 (8804) our soul H5315.
[6] Blessed H1288 (8803) [be] the LORD H3068, who hath not given H5414 (8804) us [as] a prey H2964 to their teeth H8127.
[7] Our soul H5315 is escaped H4422 (8738) as a bird H6833 out of the snare H6341 of the fowlers H3369 (8802): the snare H6341 is broken H7665 (8738), and we are escaped H4422 (8738).
[8] Our help H5828 [is] in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068, who made H6213 (8802) heaven H8064 and earth H776.
Young’s Literal Translation
Psalm 124 (YLT)
[1] Save for Jehovah-who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
[2] Save for Jehovah-who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
[3] Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
[4] Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
[5] Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
[6] Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
[7] Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
[8] Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
