Psalm 124

1You Israeli people, answer this question: What would have happened to us if Yahweh had not been ◄helping/fighting for► us? 2When our enemies attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us, 3we would have all been killed [IDM] very angry with us! 4They would have been like [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; it would have been as though the water would have covered us, 5and we would all have drowned in the flood that was ◄raging/flowing very fast►. 6But praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our enemies to destroy us like wild animals [MET] tear apart the creatures that they capture. 7We have escaped from our enemies like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; it is as though the trap that our enemies set for us was broken and we have escaped from it!
