1
A Song of Ascents. Of David. 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 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.
6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
7
We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
8
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
