Psalms 124 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 If it had not been Yahawah () who was on our side, let Yashar-Al (Israel) now amar (spoke),

2 If it had not been Yahawah () who was on our side, when adam (men) qawam (rise up) up against us;

3 Then they would have balai (swallowed) us up chay (life), when their ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) was charah (hot with anger) against us;

4 Then the mayam (Waters) would have shatap (overwhelmed) us, the nachal (stream / river) would ibar (pass over/through) gone over our napash (soul);

5 Then the zayadawan (proud) mayam (Waters) would ibar (pass over/through) gone over our napash (soul).

6 Barak (blessed) be Yahawah (), who nathan (give) not given us as a tarap (prey) to their shan (teeth).

7 Our napash (soul) has malat (escaped) like a tzapawar (bird) out of the yawaqashayam (fowlers) pach (snare / trap). The pach (snare / trap) is shabar (broken), and we have malat (escaped).

8 Our izar (help) is in the sham (name) of Yahawah (), who ishah (make) shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) and aratz (Earth/land).
