Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
1. If the Lord had not been on our side, let Israel now say:
2. If the Lord had not been on our side, when enemies rose up against us;
3. Then would they have swallowed us up alive in their fierce anger toward us.
Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
4. Then would the waters have overwhelmed us and the torrent gone over us;
5. Then would the raging waters have gone right over us.
Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
6. Blessed be the Lord! he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
7. We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the Name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
