1. If the Lord hadn’t been for us—let Israel now repeat!—
2. if the Lord hadn’t been for us,when those people attacked us
3. then they would have swallowed us up wholewith their rage burning against us!
4. Then the waters would have drowned us;the torrent would have come over our necks;
5. then the raging waters would have come over our necks!
6. Bless the Lordbecause he didn’t hand us overlike food for our enemies’ teeth!
7. We escaped like a bird from the hunters’ trap;the trap was broken so we escaped!
