A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1 What if the Lord had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat: 2 What if the Lord had not been on our side
when people attacked us? 3 They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger. 4 The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us. 5 Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
6 Praise the Lord,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart! 7 We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free! 8 Our help is from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
