" aHad it not been the LORD
who
was on our side," bLet Israel
now
say
,
"Had it not been the LORD
who
was on our side When men
rose
up against
us,
Then they would have aswallowed
us alive
, When their banger
was kindled
against us;
Then the awaters
would have engulfed
us, The stream
would have 1swept
over
our soul
;
Then the araging
waters
would have 1swept
over
our soul
."
Blessed be the LORD
, Who
has not given
us 1to be atorn
by their teeth
.
Our soul has aescaped
bas a bird
out of the csnare
of the trapper
; The snare
is broken
and we have escaped
.
Our ahelp is in the name
of the LORD
, Who bmade
heaven
and earth
.
