1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,when men rose up against us:
3 then they had swallowed us up quick,when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 then the waters had overwhelmed us,the stream had gone over our soul:
5 then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be the Lord,who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a birdout of the snare of the fowlers:the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
