PSAL. CXXIV. A song of degrees of David.
Had not the Lord been on our side, may Israel now proclaim: verse 2 Had not the Lord been on our side when men against us came: verse 3 They then had swallowed us alive, when their wrath on us burned. verse 4 Then had the waters us overwhelmed, the stream our soul o'return'd.
HAd not the Lord been on our side, may Israel now proclaim: verse 2 Had not the Lord been on our side when men against us came: verse 3 They then had swallow'd us alive, when their wrath on us burn'd. verse 4 Then had the waters us o'rewhelm'd, the stream our soul o'return'd.
verse 5 The waters proud then on our soul had passed on their way. verse 6 Blest be the Lord that to their teeth did not give us a prey. verse 7 Our soul is as a bird escaped out of the fowlers snare; The snare asunder broken is, and we escaped are.
