A Song of Ascents; of David. If{H3884} it had not been Jehovah{H3068} who was on our side, Let Israel{H3478} now say,{H559}

If{H3884} it had not been Jehovah{H3068} who was on our side, When men{H120} rose up{H6965} against us;

Then{H233} they had swallowed us up{H1104} alive,{H2416} When their wrath{H639} was kindled{H2734} against us;

Then{H233} the waters{H4325} had overwhelmed{H7857} us, The stream{H5158} had gone over{H5674} our soul;{H5315}

Then{H233} the proud{H2121} waters{H4325} had gone over{H5674} our soul.{H5315}

Blessed{H1288} be Jehovah,{H3068} Who hath not given{H5414} us as a prey{H2964} to their teeth.{H8127}

Our soul{H5315} is escaped{H4422} as a bird{H6833} out of the snare{H6341} of the fowlers:{H3369} The snare{H6341} is broken,{H7665} and we are escaped.{H4422}

Our help{H5828} is in the name{H8034} of Jehovah,{H3068} Who made{H6213} heaven{H8064} and earth.{H776}
