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