1IF it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
when men attacked us,
3 then they would have swallowed us alive,
when their wrath burned against us;
4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
out of the snare of the fowler;
the snare has been broken
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
