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.
