1 A Song of degrees; of David. Except that it was Jehovah who was for us, O may Israel say;
2 Except that it was Jehovah who was for us when men rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 then the waters would have flowed over us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
