• 0. A song of degrees,<br>
    or Psalme of Dauid.
  • 1. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)
  • 2. If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,
  • 3. They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.
  • 4. Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:
  • 5. Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.
  • 6. Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.
  • 7. Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.
  • 8. Our helpe is in the Name of the Lorde, which hath made heauen and earth.
