• Yahweh Was on Our Side

  • 1 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side,” Let Israel now say,
  • 2 “Had it not been Yahweh who was on our side When men rose up against us,
  • 3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;
  • 4 Then the waters would have flowed over us, The stream would have swept over our soul;
  • 5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul.”
  • 6 Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us to be prey for their teeth.
  • 7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.
  • 8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.
