Psalms, Chapter 124
1. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:
2. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3. Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;
4. Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul;
5. Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!
6. Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.
7. Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:
8. Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

Text source: Public Domain: Rotherham s Emphasized Bible (abbreviated EBR to avoid confusion with the REB) is a translation of the Bible that uses various methods, such as emphatic idiom and special diacritical marks, to bring out nuances of the underlying Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. It was produced by Joseph Bryant Rotherham, a bible scholar and minister of the Churches of Christ, who described his goal as placing the reader of the present time in as good a position as that occupied by the reader of the first century for understanding the Apostolic Writings.
