NET Bible
"The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us."
— Psalms 124:4, NET Bible
“Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:”
“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;”
“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:”
A song of ascents, by David.“If the LORD had not been on our side”– let Israel say this!–
if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us,
they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter’s snare. The snare broke, and we escaped.
