Let Israel now say —

Let Israel now say —
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?

When men rose up against us,

They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.

When their wrath was kindled against us;

We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
