A Pilgrim Song 1-4 I look to you, heaven-dwelling God, look up to you for help.

A Pilgrim Song of David 1-5 IfGodhadn’t been for us —all together now, Israel, sing out!— IfGodhadn’t been for us when everyone went against us, We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger, Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; We would have lost our lives in the wild, […]
