(1) If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; (2) If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: (3) Then they had swallowed us up quick, 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] the LORD, 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
