• 0. A Song of Ascents; of David.
  • 1. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
  • 2. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
  • 3. Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
  • 4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
  • 5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
  • 6. Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
  • 7. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
  • 8. Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
