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.
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;the net is torn, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh,the Maker of heaven and earth.
