1 “Had it not been the Lord who was for us” let Israel say
2 “Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,
3 then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.
4 Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:
5 then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.”
6 Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.
7 We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
