Darby Bible

1 {A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us oh let Israel say

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
