• 1. If it had not bene the Lord who was on our side: nowe may Israel say:
  • 2. If it had not bene the Lord, who was on our side, when men rose vp against vs:
  • 3. Then they had swallowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was kindled against vs.
  • 4. Then the waters had ouerwhelmed vs; the streame had gone ouer our soule.
  • 5. Then the proud waters had gone ouer our soule.
  • 6. Blessed be the Lord: who hath not giuen vs as a pray to their teeth.
  • 7. Our soule is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the foulers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
  • 8. Our helpe is in the name of the Lord: who made heauen and earth.
