The Lord the Defense of His People
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our aside,”
bLet Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3 Then they would have aswallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;
5 Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.”
6 Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7 aOur soul has escaped bas a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 aOur help is in the name of the Lord,
bWho made heaven and earth.
