¹ A pilgrim song of David. If GOD hadn't been for us --all together now, Israel, sing out!-- ² If GOD hadn't been for us when everyone went against us, ³ We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger, ⁴ Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; ⁵ We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water. ⁶ Oh, blessed be GOD! He didn't go off and leave us. He didn't abandon us defenseless, helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs. ⁷ We've flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we're free as a bird in flight. ⁸ GOD's strong name is our help, the same GOD who made heaven and earth.
