Opening the chapter…
You Israeli people, answer this question: What would have happened to us if God had not been ◄helping/fighting for► us?
When our enemies attacked us, if God had not been fighting for us,
we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!
They would have been like [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; it would have been as though the water would have covered us,
and we would all have drowned in the flood that was ◄raging/flowing very fast►.
But praise God, because he has not allowed our enemies to destroy us like wild animals [MET] tear apart the creatures that they capture.
We have escaped from our enemies like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; it is as though the trap that our enemies set for us was broken and we have escaped from it!
God is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
