1 {\b A Song of Ascents; of David.}\par\par\tab If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,\par\tab Let Israel now say, 2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,\par\tab When men rose up against us; 3 Then they had swallowed us up alive,\par\tab When their wrath was kindled against us; 4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us,\par\tab The stream had gone over our soul; 5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. 6 Blessed be Jehovah,\par\tab 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:\par\tab The snare is broken, and we are escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah,\par\tab Who made heaven and earth. |
