A Song of Ascents; of David.1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,Let Israel now say,2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,When men rose up against us;3 Then they had swallowed us up alive,When their wrath was kindled against us:4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us,The stream had gone over our soul;5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6 Blessed be Jehovah,Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:The snare is broken, and we are escaped.8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah,Who made heaven and earth.
