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 our enemies attacked us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4
then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
5
then over us would have gone the raging waters.
