1. “If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,” do let Israel say,
2. “If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3. then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us.
4. Then the waters would have flooded over us, the torrent would have passed over our soul.
5. Then over our soul would have passed the raging waters.”
