1. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say—
|
||
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
|
2. if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,
|
||
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
|
3. then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
|
||
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
|
4. then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
|
||
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
|
5. then over us would have gone the raging waters.
|
||
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
|
6. Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
|
||
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
|
7. We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
|
||
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
|
8. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
