- [A song of high degrees,
of Dauid.]
- 1
- If God him selfe had not ben of our side Israel may now say:
- 2
- if God him self had not ben of our side when men rose vp against vs,
- 3
- Then they had swalowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs.
- 4
- Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule.
- 5
- Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule.
- 6
- But blessed be God, whiche hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth.
- 7
- Our soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we be escaped.
- 8
- Our helpe is in the name of God: who hath made heauen and earth.
