- 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.
