Our Help Is in the Name of the LORD
A song of ascents. Of David.
If the LORD had not been on our side— Rom 8:31Psa 56:9Psa 54:4Psa 120:1Heb 13:5-6Psa 118:6-7Psa 94:17Isa 8:9-10
let Israel now declare—
if the LORD had not been on our side Psa 22:12-13Psa 22:16Psa 37:32Psa 21:1-2Psa 3:1Num 16:2-3
when men attacked us,
when their anger flared against us, Act 9:2Est 3:12-13Mat 2:16Num 16:30-34Psa 35:25Psa 57:3Dan 3:19Psa 27:2
then they would have swallowed us alive,
then the floods would have engulfed us, Psa 69:15Rev 17:15Rev 12:15-16Isa 59:19Isa 8:7-8Jer 46:7-8Psa 32:6Psa 69:2
then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
then the raging waters Jer 5:22Job 38:11Psa 93:3-4
would have swept us away.
Blessed be the LORD, Psa 118:13Exo 15:9-10Psa 145:5-6Isa 10:14-19Psa 17:91Sa 26:20Jdg 5:30-31
who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; Psa 91:3Pro 6:52Ti 2:26Psa 25:151Sa 25:291Sa 23:26-272Sa 17:21-22Jer 18:22
the net is torn, and we have slipped away.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, Psa 121:2Act 4:24Psa 146:5-6Jer 32:17Gen 1:1Psa 115:15Psa 134:3Isa 37:16-20
the Maker of heaven and earth.
