A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', Let Israel now say;
'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, When men rose up against us,
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;
Then the proud waters Had gone over our soul.'
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
