1
If God hadn't been for us - all together now, Israel, sing out! -
2
If God hadn't been for us when everyone went against us,
3
We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger,
4
Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent;
5
We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water.
