A song of ascents
See how you translated this in Psalms 120:1
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side
AT: "Without Yahweh's help"
swallowed us up alive
This metaphor compares how the Israelites could've died to how a fierce animal would attack a smaller animal to eat. AT: "killed us" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
their anger raged against us
AT: "They attacked us"
