"then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;"
— Psalms 124:4, World English 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; ”
“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 Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
