Psalm 124 (Nisi quia Dominus)

Say Israel, doe not conceale a verity,
Had not the Lord assisted us,
Had not the Lord assisted us, what tyme arose
Against us our fierce enimies:
Us all at once long since they had devoured up,
They were soe fell, soe furious.
If not, the angry gulphes, the streames most horrible
Had drowned us: soe drowned us,
That in the deepe bene tombed, at least on the deepe
Had tumbled our dead carcases.
But Lord, what honor shall thy people yeeld to thee
From greedy teeth delivered?
Escaped as the fowle, that oft breaking the grynn,
Beguiles the fowlers wilynesse.
For sure this is thy work, thy name protecteth us,
Who heav'n, who earth hast fashioned.
