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