1 Song of ascensions to David. Unless Jehovah was to us, now shall Israel say, 2 Unless Jehovah was to us in the rising up of man against us, 3 Then they swallowed us down living, in the kindling of their anger against us: 4 Then the waters overflowed us, the torrent passed over our soul: 5 Then the swelling waters passed over our soul. 6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not a prey to their teeth. 7 Our soul as a sparrow was delivered from the snare of the fowlers: the snare was broken and we were delivered. 8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah.; he made the heavens and the earth. |
