Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
A Song of Ascents, of David.
AHad it not been the Lord who was on our side,”
BLet Israel now say,
“Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have Aswallowed us alive,
When their Banger was kindled against us;
Then the Awaters would have engulfed us,
The stream would have 1swept over our soul;
Then the Araging waters would have 1swept over our soul.”
Blessed be the Lord,
Who has not given us 1to be Atorn by their teeth.
Our soul has Aescaped Bas a bird out of the Csnare of the trapper;
The snare is broken and we have escaped.
Our Ahelp is in the name of the Lord,
Who Bmade heaven and earth.
