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:
Our Help is in the Name of the Lord
{A Song of degrees of David.} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
{A Song of degrees of David.} If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?
when people attacked us?
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
in their burning anger.
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Praise the LORD,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
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!
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
