A pilgrimage song / / / Of David / / /
If the LORD hadn't been for us --
let Israel now repeat! --
if the LORD hadn't been for us
when those people attacked us,
then they would have swallowed us up whole
with their rage burning against us!
Then the waters would have drowned us;
the torrent would have come over our necks / soul,
then the raging waters would have come over our necks!
Bless the LORD
because he didn't hand us over like food for our enemies' teeth!
We escaped like a bird from the hunters' trap;
the trap was broken so we escaped!
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the maker of heaven and earth.
[Verse 8 here is also used by the Psalmist at Psalm 121:2]
