A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save `for' Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say), |
2. |
Save `for' Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us, |
3. |
Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us, |
4. |
Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul, |
5. |
Then passed over our soul had the proud waters. |
6. |
Blessed `is' Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth. |
7. |
Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped. |
8. |
Our help `is' in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth! |
