PSALM 124
First Version
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3They had us swallow'd quick, when as
their wrath 'gainst us did flame:
4Waters had cover'd us, our soul
had sunk beneath the stream.
5Then had the waters, swelling high,
over our soul made way.
6Bless'd be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7Our soul's escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler's snare;
The snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in JEHOVAH's name;
His name who did the heav'n create,
and who the earth did frame.

Psalms 124
124
A Song of degrees of David [Beloved].
1If [it had not been] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] who was on our side, now may Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God] say;
2If [it had not been] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3Then they had swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], who has not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8Our help [is] in the name of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], who made heaven and earth.
