| 1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us--oh let Israel say-- |
|
| 2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us, |
|
| 3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; |
|
| 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul; |
|
| 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
|
| 6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up 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 have escaped. |
|
| 8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth. |
