"لَوْلاَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي كَانَ لَنَا عِنْدَ مَا قَامَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْنَا،
إِذًا لاَبْتَلَعُونَا أَحْيَاءً عِنْدَ احْتِمَاءِ غَضَبِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا"
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us
( سفر المزامير 124 : 2- 3 )
