SHALAWAM YASHAR'AL
Tehillim (Psalms) 124:1-8 TS2009
If it had not been יהוה who was on our side, Let Yashar'al now say; “If it had not been יהוה who was on our side, When men rose up against us, Then they would have swallowed us alive, In their burning rage against us;" “Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our being; “Then the proud waters Would have gone over our being.” Blessed be יהוה, Who did not give us as prey to their teeth. Our being has escaped like a bird From the snare of the trappers; The snare was broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the Name of יהוה, Maker of the heavens and earth.
