\d A psalm written by David for people going up to the temple to worship.
|
||
|
|
\b
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 You Israelite people, answer this question:
|
||
|
|
\q1 What would have happened to us if Yahweh had not been helping us?
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 When our enemies attacked us,
|
||
|
|
\q1 if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 we would have all been killed
|
||
|
|
\q2 because they were very angry with us!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 They would have been like a flood of water sweeping us away;
|
||
|
|
\q1 it would have been as though the water had covered us,
|
||
|
|
\q2
|
||
|
|
\v 5 and we would all have drowned in the flood.
|
||
|

\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 But we praise Yahweh
|
||
|
|
\q2 because he has not allowed our enemies to destroy us.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 We have escaped from our enemies as a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set;
|
||
|
|
\q1 it is as though the trap that our enemies set for us was broken
|
||
|
|
\q2 and we have escaped from it!
|
||
|

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh is the one who helps us;
|
||
|
|
\q2 he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
