1 If the Lord had not been on our side —let Israel say —
2 If the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alivein their burning anger against us.
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us;the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging waters would have swept over us.
6 Praise the Lord,who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.
