2. If the Lord had not been for us, 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 flood would have gone over our soul;
5. then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6. Blessed be the Lord, who did not give us as a prey to their teeth.
7. Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has broken, and we are escaped.
8. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
