1

If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

2

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

3

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

4

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

5

then the raging waters would have swept us away.

6

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

7

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

8

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
