Bible

1 [A Davidic song of ascents.] If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- 2 If the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, 3 then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. 4 Then the waters would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us; 5 the raging waters would have swept over us. 6 Praise the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth. 7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped. 8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
