Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 124


Chapter 124

1. A song of ascents. Of David. Had it not been for the Lord Who was with us, let Israel declare now.   א.
2. Had it not been for the Lord Who was with us when men rose up against us,   ב.
3. Then they would have swallowed us raw when their anger was kindled against us.   ג.
when their anger was kindled against us: Heb. בחרות, “when their anger was kindled against us,” is the same form as בעשות, “when he made.”   :
4. Then the waters would have washed us away; illness would have passed over our soul.   ד.
illness: Heb. נחלה, Hehhhhddan expression of illness (חלי).   :
5. Then the wicked waters would have passed over our soul.   ה.
6. Blessed is the Lord, Who did not give us as prey for their teeth.   ו.
7. Our soul escaped like a bird from the hunters' snare; the snare broke, and we escaped.   ז.
Our soul escaped like a bird: [It escaped] from them like a bird that escaped from the hunter’s snare.   :
8. Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.   ח.
