Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount Zion, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever.
As the mountains [are] round about Jerusalem, so the LORD [is] round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
Do good, O LORD, unto [those that be] good, and [to them that are] upright in their hearts.
As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: [but] peace [shall be] upon Israel.
A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
