- 1
If the Lord had not been on our side— let Israel say—
- 2
if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us,
- 3
they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
- 4
the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
- 5
the raging waters would have swept us away.
- 6
Praise be to the Lord , who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
- 7
We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
- 8
Our help is in the name of the Lord , the Maker of heaven and earth.
