1 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say,
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have [quickly] swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The torrent would have swept over our soul;
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The trap is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
