Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD

1If the LORDE had not bene of oure syde (now maye Israel saye)

2Yf the LORDE had not bene of oure syde, whe me rose vp agaynst vs:

3They had swalowed vs vp quycke, when they were so wrothfully displeased at vs.

4Yee the waters had drowned vs, the streame had gone ouer oure soule.

5The depe waters of the proude had gone eue vnto oure soule.

6But praysed be ye LORDE, which hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teth.

7Oure soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of ye fouler: ye snare is broke, and we are delyuered.

8Oure helpe stodeth in the name of the LORDE, which hath made heauen and earth.
