1A song of ascents. Of David.Were it not for GOD, who was on our side,let Israel now declare,💡

2were it not for GOD, who was on our sidewhen others assailed us,💡

3they would have swallowed us alivein their burning rage against us;💡

4the waters would have carried us off,the torrent would have swept over us;💡

5over us would have sweptthe seething waters.💡

6Blessed is GOD, who did not let usbe ripped apart by their teeth.💡

7We are like a bird escaped from the fowler’s trap;the trap broke and we escaped.💡

8Our help is the name of GOD,maker of heaven and earth.💡
