1
If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —
2
If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
