1.
A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say--
|
|
2.
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
|
|
3.
when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
|
|
4.
the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
|
|
5.
the raging waters would have swept us away.
|
|
6.
Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
|
|
7.
We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
|
|
8.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
