Chapter 123

1    If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2    If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3    Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4    Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5    Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6    Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7    Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8    Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
