124:1Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

124:2Save for Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

124:3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

124:4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

124:5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

124:6Blessed is Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

124:7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

124:8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

125:0A Song of the Ascents.

125:1Those trusting in Jehovah are as Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth.

125:2Jerusalem! mountains are round about her, And Jehovah is round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age.

125:3For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their hands.

125:4Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in their hearts.

125:5As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

126:0A Song of the Ascents.

126:1In Jehovah's turning back to the captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers.

126:2Then filled with laughter is our mouth, And our tongue with singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did great things with these.'

126:3Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful.

126:4Turn again, O Jehovah, to our captivity, As streams in the south.

126:5Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap,

126:6Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed, Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves!
