5 Then had these proud insulting waves O'rewhelm'd us with their [cruel] Laws:
6 Blest be the Lord, who made us not A prey unto their [greedy] jaws.
7 Our soul like an entangled bird Escaped out of the [Fowler's] snare; The snare our powerful Lord hath broke, Our [trembling] souls escaped are.
7 Our soul like an entangled bird Escap'd out of the [Fowler's] snare; The snare our pow'rful Lord hath broke, Our [trembling] souls escaped are.
8 Our only help we find doth stand In the [great] name of our [great] Lord, Whose power made the glorious heavens, [The earth] and all things by his word.
