- A Song of Ascents. By David.
- 1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
let Israel now say, - 2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
when men rose up against us, - 3then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us, - 4then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the stream would have gone over our soul. - 5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
- 6Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. - 7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped. - 8Our help is in the LORD’s name,
who made heaven and earth.
