Opening the chapter…
You Israelite people, answer this question: What would have happened to us if God had not been helping us?
When our enemies attacked us, if God had not been fighting for us,
we would have all been killed because they were very angry with us!
They would have been like a flood of water sweeping us away; it would have been as though the water had covered us,
and we would all have drowned in the flood.
But we praise God because he has not allowed our enemies to destroy us.
We have escaped from our enemies as 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; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
