If it had not been the
--let Israel now say--
2
if it had not been the
when our enemies attacked us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their anger was kindled against us;
4
then the flood would have swept us away,
the torrent would have gone over us;
5
then over us would have gone
the raging waters.
6
Blessed be the
who has not given us
as prey to their teeth.
7
We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of the
who made heaven and earth.
