A song of degrees, or Psalm of David.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side, (may
Israel now say)
2 If the Lord had [not] been on our side, when
men rose up against us,
3 They had then swallowed us up quick, when
their wrath was kindled against us.
4 Then the waters had drowned us, and the
stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then had the swelling waters gone over our soul.
6 Praised be the Lord, which hath not given us
as a prey unto their teeth.
7 Our soul is escaped, even as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are
delivered. (a)
8 Our help is in the Name of the Lord, which
hath made heaven and earth.
(a) Verse 7
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but he that
trusteth in the Lord shall be exalted
Psalm 71:2
Rescue me and deliver me in thy righteousness:
incline thine ear unto me and save me.
Ecclesiastes 9:12
For neither doth man know his time, but as
the fishes which are taken in an evil net, and as the
birds that are caught in the snare: so are the children
of men snared in the evil time, when it falleth upon
them suddenly.
Luke 21:35 - 36
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, and pray continually, that ye
may be counted worthy to escape all these things that
shall come to pass, and that ye may stand before
the son of man
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you, but such
as appertaineth to 1man: and God is faithful, which
will not suffer you to be tempted above that you be
able, but will even give the issue with the temptation,
that ye may be able to bear it.
