CXXIIII 1. M. Ye children c. VNlesse the Lord had been our stay And took our part this present day now Israel may truly say But that the Lord did thus dispose And took our part against our foes when cruell men against us rose Then had they swallowed us alive When they in bitter wrath let drive and did for our destruction strive The waters then that did abound With swelling streams and deeps profound our souls had overwhelm'd and drown'd 2 The floods did rise the waves did roll The swelling streams without controll had overtopt and drown'd our soul O Blessed be the Lord alway That hath not giv'n us as a prey into their teeth this very day Our souls escaped very fair As bird from fowlers broken snare 't is broke and we delivered are Our help is in that blessed name The Lord our God the very same that did both earth and heaven frame PSAL.
