1A Song of Ascents. By David. 2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, 4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, 5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.ΒΆ 6Blessed be the LORD, 7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. 8Our help is in the name of the LORD,
