[1] A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
[2] Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
[3] Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
[4] Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
[5] Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
[6] Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
[7] Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
[8] Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
