1 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:
2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?
3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.
4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.
5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.
6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.
7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!
8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
