Our Help Is in the Name of the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
2
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,
3
then they would have 3swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
5
then over us would have gone the raging waters.
6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
7
We have escaped like a bird from 7the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
8
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
