TEHILLIM124eng_ojb
1(Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents], of Dovid)1 If 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 upas 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 HashemOseh Shomayim vaAretz.
