if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us.

the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Praise the Lord, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.

Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
