Had it not been the lord who was on our side,
Let israel now say
Had it not been the lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us today
Had it not been the lord who was on our side,
Let israel now say
Had it not been the lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us today
The water would have engulfed us
Streams would have swept over our soul
But we have escaped like a bird from the snare
As the word of the lord had fortold
As the word of the lord had fortold
