Praise for Rescue from Enemies.
1
Let Israel now say,
2
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
3
Then they would have [quickly] swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4
Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The torrent would have swept over our soul;
5
Then the (a)raging waters would have swept over our soul.”
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,”
Let Israel now say,
2
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us,
Then they would have [quickly] swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have engulfed us,
The torrent would have swept over our soul;
Then the (a)raging waters would have swept over our soul.”
