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 swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; 4   then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; 5   then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6   Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7   Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 8   Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
