[[A song of degrees, or Psalm Chapter of David.]]
[1] If the Lord had not been on our side, (may Israel now say)
[2] If the Lord had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,
[3] They had then swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us.
[4] Then the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul:
[5] Then had the swelling waters gone over our soul.
[6] Praised be the Lord, which hath not given us as a prey unto their teeth.
[7] Our soul is escaped, even as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
[8] Our help is in the name of the Lord, which hath made heaven and earth.
