Psalms 124:3

“then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;”

Verse in context — Psalms 124

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.
