[1] A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was
on our side (let Israel now say); [2] If it had not been the Lord who was
on our side, when men came up against us; [3] They would have made a meal
of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us: [4] We
would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our
soul; [5] Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul. [6]
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth. [7]
Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take
her: the net is broken, and we are free. [8] Our help is in the name of the
Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
