[1] If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
[2] If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us
[3] perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
[4] perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
[5] Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
[6] Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
[7] Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
[8] Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
