¹ If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
² If the Lord had not been on our side^(a)
when men attacked us,^(b)
3 then they would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger against us.^(c)
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us;
the torrent would have swept over us;
⁵ the raging waters would have swept over us.^(d)

⁶ Praise the Lord,
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.^(e)
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.^(f)
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth.^(g)
