If it had not been the LORD who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side

then over us would have gone
the raging waters.

O God, save me by your name,
and vindicate me by your might.
O God, hear my prayer;
give ear to the words of my mouth.
The LORD made it known to me and I knew; then you showed me their deeds.
