CXXIV.

1

Had not the Lord (may Israel now say)

2

Been with ws; Had not God for ws made way,
When men enrag'd arose, and 'gainst ws came,

3

Ws swallow'd wp aliue how soone had they,
Whil as ther furie in the heat did flame?
197

4

The streame had swept ws hence, the rageing floode
Gone over had our soules; in vain withstoode,

5

The waters proud had sweld our soules above.

6

But for ther teeth the Lord did not think good
Ws to mak prey. Wee blesse him for his love.

7

Evin as a bird from craftie fowler's snare,
Our trembling soule escapt, not by our care.
The snare is brocken and we ar sett free.

8

Helpt in the high Jehouah's name wee are,
Who made the heavins and earth; ws helped hee.
