1 If God the LORD had not been on our side— 2 let Israel say—had not the LORD been near 3 when foes attacked us, filling us with fear, and when their wrath against us reached its height, alive we had been swallowed in their spite. 4 We would have been enveloped by the flood; over our heads the torrent would have gone; 5 the waters would have carried us along. 6 But praise the LORD, for he has set us free and has not left us to their cruelty. 7 We have escaped—just as a captured bird out of the fowler’s net has been set free; the snare is cut, we are at liberty. 8 Our help is in the name of God the LORD who made the earth and heavens by his word. – Sing Psalms
