1 The song of degrees of David. Israel say now, No but for the Lord was in us;

2 no but for the Lord was in us. When men rose up against us;

3 in hap they had swallowed us quick. When the strong vengeance of them was wroth against us;

4 in hap water had swallowed us up. Our soul passed through a strand [or stream];

5 in hap our soul had passed through a water unsufferable.

6 Blessed be the Lord; that gave not us into taking [or catching] of the teeth of them.

7 Our soul, as a sparrow, is delivered; from the snare of hunters. The snare is all-broken; and we be delivered.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord; that made heaven and earth.
