CHAP. CXXIV.

The Church blesseth God, for a miraculous deliuerance.

¹[A song of degrees of Dauid.] If it had not bene the Lord who was on our side: nowe may Israel say:

²If it had not bene the Lord, who was on our side, when men rose vp against vs:

³Then they had swallowed vs vp quicke: when their wrath was kindled against vs.

⁴Then the waters had ouerwhelmed vs; the streame had gone ouer our soule.

⁵Then the proud waters had gone ouer our soule.

⁶Blessed be the Lord: who hath not giuen vs as a pray to their teeth.

Gods blessings on the godly.

⁷Our soule is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the foulers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

⁸Our helpe is in the name of the Lord: who made heauen and earth.⁸
