1 {A song of the stairs} If the LORD himself had not been on our side - now may Israel say -
2 If the LORD himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,
3 they had swallowed us up alive, when they were so wrathfully displeased at us.
4 Yea, the waters had drowned us, the stream had gone over our soul.
5 The deep waters of the proud had gone even unto our soul.
