“Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. Our help is in the name of the Lord!” Let us give him thanks and praise for all that he has done for us.

What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel now say, if it had not been for the Lord on our sides when people rose up against us. then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger was kindled against us. The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us. Our help is in the name of the Lord! Psalm 124
