Psalms 124:8 (NET) New English Translation

1 A song of ascents, by David. "If the LORD had not been on our side"— let Israel say this!—
2 if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
4 The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
5 The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
6 The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
7 We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped.
8 Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
1 A Song H7892 of degrees H4609 of David H1732 L-NAME . If H3884 it had not been the LORD H3068 EDS who was on our side , now H4994 IJEC may Israel H3478 LMS say H559 ;
2 If H3884 it had not been the LORD H3068 EDS who was on our side , when men H120 rose up H6965 against H5921 PREP-1MP us :
3 Then H233 they had swallowed us up H1104 quick H2416 NMP , when their wrath H639 was kindled H2734 against us :
4 Then H233 the waters H4325 D-CMS had overwhelmed H7857 us , the stream H5158 had gone H5674 VQQ3MS over H5921 PREP our soul H5315 :
5 Then H233 the proud H2121 waters H4325 D-CMS had gone H5674 VQQ3MS over H5921 PREP our soul H5315 .
6 Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS be the LORD H3068 EDS , who hath not H7945 given H5414 us as a prey H2964 to their teeth H8127 .
7 Our soul H5315 is escaped H4422 as a bird H6833 K-GFS out of the snare H6341 of the fowlers H3369 : the snare H6341 is broken H7665 , and we H587 are escaped H4422 .
8 Our help H5828 is in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , who made H6213 heaven H8064 NMP and earth H776 W-NFS .
