- 1
- A Song of Ascents;
of David.
"If it had not been the LORD who was for us", let Israel now say;
- 2
- "If it had not been the LORD who was for us, 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 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.
