Chapter 124
If It Had Not Been YHWH Who Was on Our Side
Had Adonai not been on their side — the waters would have overwhelmed them — is the song of every believer who sees that Yeshua's intervention was their only salvation.
- If It Had Not Been YHWH Who Was on Our Side
'If it had not been YHWH who was on our side' — David traces what would have happened, and gratitude fills the space.
- 1If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, let Israel now say,
- 2if it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
- 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
- 4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
- 5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
- 6Blessed be YHWH, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
- 7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
- 8Our help is in YHWH’s name, who made heaven and earth.
