A song of high degrees, of Dauid. If God him selfe had not ben of our side Israel may now say:

if God him self had not ben of our side when men rose vp against vs,

Then they had swalowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was so inflamed against vs.

Then the waters had drowned vs: the running streame had flowed ouer our soule.

Then the waters of the proude: had flowed ouer our soule.

But blessed be God, whiche hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teeth.

Our soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of the fouler: the snare is broken, and we be escaped.

Our helpe is in the name of God: who hath made heauen and earth.
