If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, let Israel now say,
Psalms
1 The church blesses God for a miraculous deliverance
Gen 15:1;Num 14:9;Jos 1:5 A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
Jer 51:34;Pro 1:12;Psa 35:25 3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 ¶ Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
