David says: Israel's help is in the name of the Lord.

  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.
