The Second Book of Clement
2Clem
[A Song of Degrees.]
[1]If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say; [No book]
[2]if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us; [No book]
[3]verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: [No book]
[4]verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent. [No book]
[5]Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water. [No book]
[6]Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth. [No book]
[7]Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered. [No book]
[8]Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. [No book]
