IF THE Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say : if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
² They had swallowed us up quick : when thy were so wrathfully displeased at us.
³ Yea, the waters had drowned us : and the stream had gone over our soul.
⁴ The deep waters of the proud : had gone even over our soul.
⁵ But praised be the Lord : who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
⁶ Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler : the snare is broken, and we are delivered .
⁷ Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth.
