If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
Let Israel say
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
They would have swallowed us alive
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side

When the people rose against us they would have swallowed us alive
When men in burning anger we would have been swept by the water's rise
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side

O Lord, blessed be who has not given us to their teeth
We've escaped like a bird from a trap the snare is broken and we are free
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
Let Israel say
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side
