P124a. Had not the Lord been on our side

1 Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2 Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3 alive they had us swallowed then
in rage beyond control;
4 the waters had us overwhelmed,
the stream gone o'er our soul.
had sunk beneath the stream.

5 Then had the waters swelling high
over our soul made way.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.

8 Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in Jehovah’s name;
his name who did the heaven create,
and who the earth did frame.
