If Yehovah Had Not Been For Us
-Based on Psalm 124-
“If Yehovah had not been for us,”
Let all Israel now say,
“If Yehovah had not been for us
When hate’s influx rushed our way
“When men rose up against us seeking
To destroy our life, our soul,
The waters would have gone above us,
Overwhelmed us ‘neath their roll.
“Oh, blessed be Yehovah,
Who did not give us to their teeth as prey
The trapper’s snare was broken;
Like a bird, our soul has flown away
“Oh, yes! The snare is broken now!
And, yes! We have escaped; we fly!
Our help is in the Name of Yehovah
Who made the earth and sky”
