A Song of Ascents. By David.
[1] If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,let Israel now say,
[2] if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
[3] then they would have swallowed us up 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 proud waters would have gone over our soul.
[6] Blessed be Yahweh,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
[7] Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
[8] Our help is in Yahweh’s name,
who made heaven and earth.
