¹ If the Lord had not been on our side—
    let Israel say^(A)—
² if the Lord had not been on our side
    when people attacked us,
³ they would have swallowed us alive
    when their anger flared against us;

³ But the Egyptians^(A) are mere mortals and not God;^(B)
    their horses^(C) are flesh and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,^(D)
    those who help will stumble,
    those who are helped^(E) will fall;
    all will perish together.^(F)

¹ Truly my soul finds rest^(A) in God;^(B)
    my salvation comes from him.
