Tehillim 124
124
(Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents], of Dovid)
1If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu (for us, on our side), now may Yisroel say;
2If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu, when adam (man) rose up against us;
3Then they had swallowed us up chayyim (alive); when their wrath was kindled against us;
4Then the mayim would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh);
5Then the mayim hazedonim (treacherous waters) would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh).
6Baruch Hashem, Who hath not given us up as a prey to their shinayim (teeth).
7Nafsheinu (our nefesh) is escaped as a tzippor (bird) out of the pach (snare of the fowlers); the pach is broken, and we are escaped.
8Ezreinu (our help) B'Shem Hashem Oseh Shomayim vaAretz.

Psalms 124
124
Psalm 124
A song by David for going up to worship.
1“If the Lord had not been on our side …”
(Israel should repeat this.)
2“If the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3then they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger exploded against us.
4Then the floodwaters would have swept us away.
An ⌞overflowing⌟ stream would have washed us away.
5Then raging water would have washed us away.”
6Thank the Lord, who did not let them sink their teeth into us.
7We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter’s trap.
The trap was broken, and we escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
