American Standard Version
"Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; "
— Psalms 124:4, American Standard Version
“Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:”
“then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;”
“The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.”
“Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.”
“We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;”
“Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:”
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
