A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#226b

226b. Had not the Lord, may Isr'l say

1, Had not the Lord, may Isr'el say,
Appeared on our Side;
2. Had not the Lord us help'd, when Men
Rose, like the swelling Tide:
3. They soon had swallow'd us alive;
So fierce their Wrath did rowl;
4. The Waters had o'erwhelmed us,
The Stream gone o'er our Soul.

5. Proud Waters then had o'er us beat,
And swept us quite away.
6. Bless'd be the Lord; who gave us not,
To their sharp Teeth, a Prey.
7. Our Soul's escap'd the broken Snare,
As Birds, from Fowler's, fled.
8. Our Help is in Jehovah's Name;
Who Heav'n, and Earth, hath made.
