1. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us--oh let Israel say--
2. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3. Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4. Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
