| Praise for Rescue from Enemies |
| A Song of Ascents; of David. |
| [1] | IF it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say, |
| [2] | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; |
| [3] | Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us: |
| [4] | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; |
| [5] | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| [6] | Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as 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 are escaped. |
| [8] | Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth. |
