Compare: Psalm 124

ASV

A Song of Ascents; of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

ASV

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

ASV

Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:

ASV

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

ASV

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

ASV

Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

ASV

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

ASV

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.
