[1]A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),[2]Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,[3]Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,[4]Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,[5]Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.[6]Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.[7]Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.[8]Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
