# then they would have swallowed us up alive
This is another hypothetical result of the situation described in [Psalms 124:1](../124/001.md) and [Psalms 124:2](..124/002.md). This did not happen because Yahweh was actually on their side. Israel's enemies could not swallow them up alive. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
This is the end of a hypothetical statement that begins with the words "If Yahweh had not been on our side" in [Psalms 124:1](../124/001.md) and continues with the words "if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us" in [Psalms 124:2](./002.md). It describes a result that did not happen because Yahweh was actually on their side. Israel's enemies could not swallow them up alive. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])
# swallowed us up alive
This metaphor describes how the enemies could have attacked and killed the Israelites to how a fierce animal attacks a smaller animal and eats it. Alternate translation: "killed us all"(See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
