CLV(i)
1 {A Song of Ascents, Davidic{ Unless Yahweh Himself had been for us, Now let Israel say,
2 Unless Yahweh Himself had been for us, When mankind rose against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive In the heat of their anger against us;
4 Then the waters, they would have engulfed us, The torrent, it would have passed over our soul;"
5 Then there would have passed over our soul The rampaging waters.
6 Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth."
7 Our soul, like a bird has it escaped from the snare of the trappers; The snare has been broken, and we have escaped."
8 Our help is in the Name of Yahweh, Maker of the heavens and earth."
