  1. 1

    If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

  2. 2

    if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

  5. 5

    Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

  6. 6

    Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

  7. 7

    Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

  8. 8

    Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
