1
"If Yahweh had not been on our side,"
let Israel say now,
2
"if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side
when men rose up against us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive
when their anger raged against us.
4
The water would have swept us away;
the torrent would have overwhelmed us.
5
Then the raging waters would have drowned us."
6
Blessed be Yahweh,
who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
7
We have escaped like a bird
out of the snare of the fowlers;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
who made heaven and earth.
