Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD
A song of ascents. Of David.
If the LORD had not been on our side—
let Israel now declare—
if the LORD had not been on our side
when men attacked us,
when their anger flared against us,
then they would have swallowed us alive,Pro 1:12
then the floods would have engulfed us,
then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,Psa 144:7
then the raging waters
would have swept us away.
Blessed be the LORD,
who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler;
the net is torn, and we have slipped away.Psa 11:2; Pro 6:5
Our help is in the name of the LORD,
