Our Help is in the Name of the Lord
{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --
{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?
when people attacked us?
Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
in their burning anger.
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
Praise the LORD,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
The trap is broken, and we are free!
