Book Five (Psalms 107-150) "Concerning God and His Word"

A Song of degrees of David.


1.   If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2.   If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3.   Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4.   Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5.   Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6.   Blessed be the LORD,

who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

8.   Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
