[1]IF it had not been the LORD who stood on our side, now may Israel say,[2]If it had not been the LORD who stood on our side when men rose up against us,[3]Then would they have swallowed us alive when their wrath was kindled against us,[4]Then would they have drowned us in the waters, the stream would have gone over us;[5]Then the great waters would have gone over us.[6]Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.[7]Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are delivered.[8]Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
