1A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)
2If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,
3They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.
4Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:
5Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.
Psalms 124
