1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare— | C | TOSK |
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, | C | TOSK |
3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, | C | TOSK |
4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us, | C | TOSK |
5 then the raging waters would have swept us away. | C | TOSK |
6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. | C | TOSK |
7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away. | C | TOSK |
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | C | TOSK |
