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 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 Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
