picture

1 I f it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 I f it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 T hen they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 T hen the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 T hen the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 B lessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 O ur soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

8 O ur help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
