Yahweh Was on Our Side
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
“aHad it not been Yahweh who was on our side,”
bLet Israel now say,
2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have aswallowed us alive,
When their banger was kindled against us;
4 Then the awaters would have flowed over us,
The stream would have swept over our soul;
5 Then the araging waters would have swept over our soul.”
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
Who has not given us to be aprey for their teeth.
7 Our soul has aescaped bas a bird out of the csnare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8 Our ahelp is in the name of Yahweh,
Who bmade heaven and earth.
