1. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
2. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
3. Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6. Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
