What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?
They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
Praise the LORD,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
Our help is from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat: What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us?

From my earliest youth my enemies have persecuted me.

but they have never defeated me. (see all Psalm 129)
Jeremiah 15:20
"They will fight against you like an attacking army,
but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall of bronze.

for I am with you to protect and rescue you.
I, the LORD, have spoken!" (see all Jeremiah 15)
They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.
Psalm 56:1-2
O God, have mercy on me,
for people are hounding me.

and many are boldly attacking me. (see all Psalm 56)

He will send help from heaven to rescue me,
