1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, 2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, 3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, 4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, 5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6 Blessed be Yahweh, 7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. 8 Our help is in Yahweh’s name,
