If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say: if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
2 They had swallowed us up quick: when they were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3 Yea, the waters had drowned us: and the stream had gone over our soul.
4 The deep waters of the proud: had gone even over our soul.
5 But praised be the Lord: who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6 Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
7 Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth.
PSALM 125. Qui confidunt.
They that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount
Sion: which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever.
2 The hills stand about Jerusalem: even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.
