Israel praiseth God for deliverance. (A Song of degrees of David.)

¹⁾Now may Israel say, If it had not been the LORD whoLord was not on our side, now may Israel say; 2)If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: 3)Then, then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:.

⁴²⁾Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:;

⁵³⁾Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁶⁴⁾Blessed be the LORDLord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷⁵⁾Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

⁸⁶⁾Our help is in the name of the LORDLord, who made heaven and earth.
