Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
A Song of Ascents, of David.
1Had it not been the L
ORD who was on our side,
Let Israel now say,
2Had it not been the L
ORD who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their anger was kindled against us;
4Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have swept over our soul;
5Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.
6Blessed be the L
ORD,
Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
7Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the L
ORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
<< Psalm 124 >>
