If the LORDE had not bene of oure syde (now maye Israel saye) Yf the LORDE had not bene of oure syde, whe me rose vp agaynst vs:

They had swalowed vs vp quycke, when they were so wrothfully displeased at vs.

Yee the waters had drowned vs, the streame had gone ouer oure soule.

The depe waters of the proude had gone eue vnto oure soule.

But praysed be ye LORDE, which hath not geuen vs ouer for a pray vnto their teth.

Oure soule is escaped, euen as a byrde out of the snare of ye fouler:

ye snare is broke, and we are delyuered.

Oure helpe stodeth in the name of the LORDE, which hath made heauen and earth.
