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 bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
|
8: Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and
earth. |
