Our help is ...

"If the Lord had not been on our

side -

let Israel  say 

if the Lord not been on our side

when men attacked us,

when their anger flared against us, 

they would have swallowed us

alive;

the flood would have engulfed us, 

the torrent would have swept 

over us,

the raging waters

would have swept us away.

Praise be to the Lord,

who has not let us be torn by 

their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird

out of the fowler's snare;

the snare has been broken,

and we have escaped.

Our help is in the name of the 

Lord,

the Maker of heaven and earth. 

Psalm 124: 1-9
