A Song of Ascents; of David.

1If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,

Let Israel now say,

2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,

When men rose up against us;

3Then they had swallowed us up alive,

When their wrath was kindled against us:

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us,

The stream had gone over our soul;

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6Blessed be Jehovah,

Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:

The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8Our help is in the name of Jehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.
