Tehillim 124

1(Shir HaMa'alot, [Song of Ascents] of Dovid). 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 up as 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 Hashem Oseh Shomayim vaAretz.
