**1 **\{A Song of degrees of David.} If *it had* not *been* the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

**2 **If *it had* not *been* the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

**3 **Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

**4 **Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

**5 **Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

**6 **Blessed *be* the LORD, who hath not given us *as* a prey to their teeth.

**7 **Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

**8 **Our help *is* in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
