Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—
2
if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
3
when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
4
then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
5
then the raging waters would have swept us away.
6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
7
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
8
Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2
if it had not been the LORD 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 the LORD, 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 LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
