After Victory or Deliverance from an Enemy

If the Lord had not been on our side, now may we say: if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us; They had swallowed us up quick: when they were so wrathfully displeased at us. Yea, the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul: the deep waters of the proud had gone over our soul. But praised be the Lord: who has not given us over as a prey unto them.¹

The Lord has wrought: a mighty salvation for us.²

We got not this by our own sword, neither was it our own arm that saved us: but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you had a favour unto us.³

The Lord has appeared for us: the Lord has covered our heads, and made us to stand in the day of battle. The Lord has appeared for us: the Lord has overthrown our enemies, and dashed in pieces those that rose up against us.⁴

Therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us: but unto your Name be given the glory.⁵

The Lord has done great things for us: the Lord has done great things for us, for which we rejoice.⁶

Our help stands in the Name of the Lord: who has made heaven and earth.⁷

Blessed be the Name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore.⁸
