1 "Had it not been the Lord who was on our side," Let Israel now say,
2 "Had it not been the Lord who was on our side When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul."
