Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,
if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when people rose up against us,
then they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
then the waters would have flooded us, the torrent would have gone over our necks.
Then the raging waters would have gone over our necks.
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of Yahweh, the Creator of heaven and earth.
