| 1. | {A Song of Ascents. By David.} If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, |
| 2. | if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; |
| 3. | then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; |
| 4. | then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; |
| 5. | then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. |
| 6. | Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 7. | Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. |
| 8. | Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. |
