Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   
      I had just finished praying,  “LORD,  I need more songs please for Your
Amazing Jesus 'n' Children  album.   I picked up my guitar... and this song happened.  It was recorded 3 days later.  God's empowering.  

     Now, verse 1 of course is for younger children,
whereas verse 2 with all the scripture references is more for us older “children”.
But we're never too old to need comfort from our Abba Daddy LORD Father God... and knowing where His promises are in His Word give us more comfort. May you be thus.

    Although this is a type of lullaby,  its pounding Part 2 is a different kind of comfort:  A comfort in knowing that the POWER OF ALMIGHTY LORD GOD is on our side.  As in Psalm 124's comfort.....  with the LORD on our side,  we do not need to fear drowning.  After we have ASKED Him to be our Father. Our Loving God does not force Himself on us.
Dedicated to Father, Abba God, 14 Sept  2013

Each Day Bees Feed, by DianaDee Osborne

Song Story:  I'd been watching and feeding the hummingbirds a lot.  As summer comes to a close, I ensure that the feeders stay full, to prepare them for the long trip south soon to come.  One day I was joking with God as I prayed, "Hey, aren't I the one providing for *Your* birds here?"  The instant thought I had -- I'm convinced it was God's answer,  as fast as any human friend would reply to such a statement,
           "Hey,  Who gave you enough resources to share with these birds?
           "Hey,  Who gave you eyes to see these tiny creatures, anyway?
           "Hey,  Who gave you arms and legs to prepare their food?  And a
heart of  JOY  to see Your LORD God's Creator hand as the source of these creatures' existence and provision of food?"

 
With renewed humbleness,  I opened my Bible to Psalm 1:2 ... and saw the connection.
A logical connection, provided by the Holy Spirit's wisdom (James 1:5):
Regarding the person who honors God:
      "But his delight is in the Law of the LORD,  and in His law,
       he (the person)  meditates day and night."

Daily meditation on God's Word....
gives us our Daily Bread....   and our
Daily Provision of what we most need in Life:      God.
Dedicated to Compassionate Provider God, 28 August 2013
LYRICS
VERSE 1   
Each day bees feed on God's gifts. __
Each day hummingbirds,  by God's grace  eat.
Each day the SAME God calls us:  __
JUST TRUST GOD LIKE BIRDS AND BEES.
GOD GIVES ALL YOU NEED.

         Each day bees and hummingbirds return to a flower,
        Even though the day before, they ate all its nectar.
Each day, bees and humming birds  find there,  new food.  For
God designed His flowers  to  keep bringing them new food.

READING 1 after verse 1: JESUS's promise to you and me: PORTIONS FROM LUKE 12
"Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.
Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? ...
"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these....

VERSE 2 
Luke 12's promise by Jesus: 
Son of Creator God who gives the
Bees what they need to... feed:
JUST TRUST GOD LIKE BIRDS AND BEES.
GOD GIVES ALL YOU NEED.

        Each day God's true children will return to God's Bible... Torah...
        Even though the day before, they studied its honey.
Isaiah 7:  15 Honey Wisdom.  Psalm 119, Mem.   For
God designed His Bible to  keep bringing us His food.

    Reading 2           JESUS  CONTINUES  IN  LUKE  12:
“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink,  nor have an anxious mind.  For all these things the nations of the world seek after,
and your Father knows that you need these things.  But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.  Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom..... LUKE 12....  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Isaiah 51 Following Righteousness (song lyrics), by DianaDee Osborne

ISAIAH 51  FOLLOWING RIGHTEOUSNESS                                           SUBSCRIBE  

This FUTURE song's Draft Lyrics (music not yet completed) is subject to change.

ALBUM:      Amazing Portion 'n' Prophets (NEW ALBUM, with songs built upon actual scriptures on the Bible's Prophetic writings.)

Song Story: 
        This was the result of an intensive study of the middle section of God's Book *through* Isaiah  (not technically 'Isaiah's book').  Have you ever noticed"  The book has 66 chapters.... and they sort of parallel the ENTIRE set of 66 books we call "the Bible".... right up to Revelation.  I wrote the words of God's book, sketching them into measures of 3 sylables (or rests) each:  3/4 time.  A COMFORTING,  waltz tempo.
        But on June 18th, 13 days later,  I just sat at the church sanctuary piano "alone with God"  and 'just began playing'  music that I quickly recorded.... music
        that CHANGES to a pounding 2/2 time for the CHOR-US   that  WARNS US.
Dedicated to our God of ALL The Ages....
the TRUE God of "The New Age",          5 June 2013.

LYRICS                       CLICK HERE FOR  ISAIAH 51  
1    (3/4 time)
Listen to me _ your God -- you who follow. _
Follow _ righteousness,  seeking the LORD. _ _
Look to the Rock _ from which you were hewn _ _
only find righteousness through God, Your LORD. _ _
He makes your wilderness bloom _ like Eden. _ _
Gladness and Thanksgiving, melody, joy! _ _
   Isaiah 51: 1 __ to three _ _ 
   Following righteousness brings promised joy! _ _

CHORUS   1              (2/2 pounding time)
Awake! Awake! Put on Strength. _  Awake as in Ancient Days. _
God is God Who dried the Sea. _ Gave a road to His redeemed. _
So the Ransomed of the LORD _ WILL return singing and with Joy. _
No more sorrow or sighing _ IF they follow God's righteousness.
   Isaiah 51:  verse 9  __ through 11, God's Promised Time.

2  (3/4 time)
Listen to me _ My people, My nation: _
Give ear to Me your God, and laws I speak. _ _
I'll make My justice rest as a light of the peoples, My
righteousness is near, my salvation gone forth. _ _
Lift your eyes to heavens.  Like __ Earth, they will _
vanish like smoke: But My righteousness won't. _ _
    Isaiah 51:  four _ to six.  _ _
   Following righteousness brings promised joy! _ _    (CHORUS 1   in 2/2 time)

3   (3/4 time)
Listen to Me,you who know righteousness. _ _
If your heart is my law, do not fear men. _ _
God's righteousness and salvation never ends _ _
from generation to generation. _ _
God put His Word __ in our mouths: __ His Law _ _
to follow righteousness through generations. _ _
   Isaiah 51: Seven to nine. _ _
   Following righteousness brings promised joy! _ _    (to CHORUS 2   in 2/2 time)

CHORUS   2              (2/2 pounding time)
Awake! I, God, comfort you! __                   
Why fear other men who will die? _                         
Why forget the LORD Your Maker Who made all this earth's foundations? _      
The LORD of hosts if my Name, I've covered you with a shadow of My hand. _
AWAKE!  Don't arouse God's fury, rebuking God Who's done all this. __
    Isaiah 51:  Verse 10. _  Follow righteousness to the end. __
-----------------------------------------------------------

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Isaiah 51:  16.  And I have put My words in your mouth;
I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
That I may plant the heavens,
Lay the foundations of the earth,
And say to Zion, 'You are My people.' "

  (see FUTURE SONGS  tab)

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
       I was sort-of watching (mostly not) a TV show about someone pretending to be a psychic with the usual plot that no one believes her. To escape jail, she suddenly urgently yells at the officer to go to his beloved who is in danger -- "Right now!  Do it Right Now!"   
       The phrase simply arrested my attention.  (And the character escaped arrest as the officer rushed "to the rescue" :)

       Is this NOT what God is ALWAYS telling you  &  me??
               We are NOT promised a tomorrow.   
      Watch the media news if you don't believe that.....
HOW MANY of those people expected to be living tomorrow?
 
Accept Jesus's Truth that we've each had SO many evidences of being truth... Romans 1.  God says:
RIGHT NOW, DO RIGHT NOW.

1
You're not promised __ one tomorrow. __ RIGHT NOW is The Time. _ _ _
You might fail. __ That's NOT sorrow, __ if you first asked God. _ _ _
Mistakes can precede successes. __ Doing nothing is just... _ _ as

YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH HIM. -- PHILIPPIANS 4: 13.

RIGHT  NOW!  PRAY  RIGHT    NOW! _  _  AND
ACT   when God says  "NOW"!  _  __ __    >>CHORUS

You are running out of time. __ Second Peter 3,  verse 10:       SCRIPTURE LINK
People might say you have failed, but  just trust God and pray. _ _ _

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
2ND Peter 3:    LINK
...."knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.' For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water [FLOOD... SEE LUKE 17]... But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 


Jesus (still)  says to you and me through Luke 17 at the end:
Then He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.  And they will say to you, 'Look here!' or 'Look there!' Do not go after them or follow them.  "For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.  [ONE MESSIAH,  SECOND COMING:]  CONTINUING:

JESUS SAID NOAH AND SODOM ARE REAL....  Our      choice is to either BELIEVE or call Jesus a liar:            
                                                                                             

"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
"Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; "ut on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Everything Is For God's Glory, by DianaDee Osborne

EVERYTHING  IS  FOR  GOD'S GLORY
PATTERN SONG:  Chapter 29
      Another version,  EVERYTHING IS NOT ENOUGH,   contains less scriptures 
         and    includes full original song by DianaDee.
                                                  SUBSCRIBE  
ALBUM:      Amazing  Provider 'n' Patterns   
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2013
               CLICK HERE    TO HEAR SONG  (FREE)  

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:   
    Lyrics (chorus and verse 1)  were a prayer written at the altar in minutes.  Then I immediately went to the church piano, and LORD God gave me these ideas
for the music --- including the old hymn to fit with the prayer..... as a prayer.........

    I've been studying the Original Testament (O.T.)  a lot, and had already noticed the patterns of how often chapter numbers in one book are on a topic related to chapter numbers in other O.T. books – especially Chapter 9, usually dire warnings to the assembly of people (nation).  

    So I'm not sure why this came to mind except the usual – the Holy Spirit's inspiration – but it seemed pretty cool to me (with my poor memory that loves patterns!) to notice how these Chapters 29 are related to each other.

Scripture reference explanation of choice to not say “Old” Testament, as if useless:  Matthew 5: 17 and 18, Jesus speaking:  
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.   
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, 
one jot or one tittle shall in NO wise pass  from the law, 
till all be fulfilled.  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so,
he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Can't get much clearer than that.   The Original Testament laws of God are still to be respected as His HEART for what He wants us to do.... summarized as Loving God with all our heart.... and loving people.....  Matthew 22:18 (Jesus speaking).
Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:   
Part 2 built around Fanny Crosby's and William Doane's song “I Am Thine O Lord, I Have Heard Thy Voice” (Public Domain, CCLI # 25424)

Everything is but a SPECK of what You deserve.

VERSE 1  (sung)
All in heaven and earth is Yours.  Chapter 29 First Chronicles.
Yours is the Kingdom, LORD.  

I choose gladly to worship You!    

READING
FIRST CHRONICLES 29,  verses 8 to 14:                      New KJV
“.... Whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD... Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly.  Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: 'Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all. ... In Your hand is power and might; In Your hand it is to make great And to give strength to all.  Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name.  But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.' ” 


VERSE 2  (short;  SUNG)
Yours is the Power, LORD.  I choose gladly to glorify You!     

READING
JEREMIAH  29,  verses 8 to 13:                   New KJV
“....For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed.   For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD. For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.   Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”


VERSE 3  (SUNG)
Everything is but a SPECK of what You deserve.
    I confess my sins to You.   Deuteronomy 29 -- You're  LORD!
    Yours is my Life, O LORD.  I choose gladly to live for You! 
 

READING
DEUTERONOMY  29,  verses 1 to 7:              New KJV
“These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.  Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: 'You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land-- the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.  Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.  And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.  And when you came to this place,  KINGS  came out against us to battle, and we conquered them.' ”


VERSE 4  (SUNG)
I consecrate my SELF to You.  Chapter 29,  Second Chronicles.
    Yours is my Life, O LORD.  I choose gladly to live for You! 

 

READING
2nd CHRONICLES  29,  verses 30 - 33 and 36     New KJV
“King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped. Then Hezekiah answered and said, 'Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD.' So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart   brought burnt offerings.  And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.  The consecrated things were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep...    Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.”
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Micah 7: 18-19 reminds us with this prayer:
“Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love.  He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.”

But You have made it a “den of thieves”' [Isaiah 56:7]. …

22  Jesus answered and said to them, 'Have faith in God.'   
23  "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
24  I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
    believe     that you receive them, and you will have them.

25  And whenever you stand praying, 
         if you have anything against anyone, 
                       forgive him, 
that your Father in heaven may also 
                                 forgive   YOUR   trespasses”.

CLICK HERE      to hear song

Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:  tempo 160  (2/2 TIME)
That bit of info tells you this is a rockin' version of the old hymn!
This is one of my earliest song gifts from LORD God.  I'd been practicing
GREAT DANE FAITH  while sorting hundreds of music sheets for the praise band
one night.... got distracted.... was filing the sheets for Amazing Grace that we'd
used the week before.... suddenly realized I was singing the old hymn to my new tune.
And it FIT PERFECTLY  with the addition of the prayer....   "IN YOU, MY GOD...."

Original lyrics by John Newton (Public Domain)
Dedicated to our Great God 20 April 2009

LYRICS
VERSE 1
Amazing grace!  How sweet the sound     that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,          was blind, but now   I     see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,    and grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear          the    hour I first believed .....  IN
You,            my God,            IN You,        my Lord,
IN  You, my Jesus!

VERSE 2   .
Yea, when my flesh and heart shall fail,    and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,                     a life of joy and peace.
When I’ve been there 10,000 years,           bright shining as the sun at noon,
I’ve no less days to sing God’s praise        than when I’d  first begun to praise..... OUR 

 Lord    ___    ___    for Your amazing grace,
                           I forever praise You.
                           I forever thank You.   


VERSE 3   .Through many dangers,  toils, and snares,      I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,      and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.            His Word, my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be              as long as life endures .....  WITH
You,        my God,        WITH  You,    My Lord,
WITH You, my Jesus!


---------------------------------------------------
Descant  IN THE BACKGROUND:          

            I will trust in You, my God, and I thank You, my Lord Jesus, and
            I give    You my life because I know  I can trust You, my God,  my
            giver of amazing grace, with thanks I’ll  always seek Your face,  Jesus.

Psalm 145 Extolling, by DianaDee Osborne

PSALM  145  EXTOLLING       SUBSCRIBE  
Latin  version    &   PEACE  version
ALBUM:      Amazing Psalms 'n' Promises
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2008-2012.php

CLICK HERE      to hear JOY (Latin) version of song

Song Story:
    1. How did I pick this music?  I was watching a baby who was drifting to sleep.  To help Caleb along, I started practicing a mix of major-7 and just-7  chords on my guitar in “alphabetical order” downward…. A7, Gmaj7, Fmaj7,  E7…. after 10 minutes,  I suddenly thought, “hey, these sound pretty cool.”  I  threw in a Dm7 and Am7 chord for the bridge… and thus God inspired the music for this His song through me:)

    SLOW VERSION (Extolling in Peace) was my original “practice” version that helped Caleb sleep.  FAST VERSION (Extolling in Joy) came when Claxton Wilson, my studio producer at Valley Worship and Praise, grabbed his bass guitar, pumped up the tempo on the project I had brought in from my home studio, and said -- hey, how about THIS?? as he began a fast popping-slapping bass in a Latin rhythm.  (It's cool how God brings people with different skills and ideas together!!!)


CLICK HERE      to hear PEACE-full version of song

    2.  How did I pick this Psalm?  I literally prayed, “What Psalm do YOU want to go with this music?”  The number “144” came to mind, but I felt hesitant. I checked it out-- yes it seemed to fit the minor music. But there were a lot of words and this music seemed to call for something a bit simpler.  I use BlueLetterBlble.org tremendously; so I hit the Next Chapter button, barely glanced at it before I called out, “Oh yes God, THIS is it, isn’t it!)  

    3.  How did I select Bible version?  For 98% of songs, I select the New King James Version for songs, because that’s the version that is almost universally accepted by the various church denominations.  I love the sound of  old KJV, but Communication is #1 need.

    4.  How did I pick this Song Title?  After all, the word “praise” occurs more often than the single instance of “extol”  in NKJV and  old KJV; there are two instances in New International Version (plus an “exalt”).  But the word “Praise” is used so often in our prayers and church services that I just wanted to use a more powerful, more Color-filled word… which still can’t come close to describing what our dear LORD God deserves.

    5.  Suppose the words of this Psalm don’t describe your concept of God?  After all, many many people are living lives that seem devoid of any loving God.  And it it’s not you-- you assuredly know someone.   Please please please just think of all the words where God calls us to seek, to reason, to use our minds. God doesn’t want cult-like followers. Perhaps some of the songs in the AMAZING LORD ‘N’ LOGIC series might give you, or the someone you know, a few additional threads of thought to enjoy weaving through, exploring.

    6.  Take a look at….. the way these words fall.  Especially how the rhymes fall into place for line letter “i”.  I did NOT design the song this way.  This is exactly how Psalm 145 fell as I simply sat at the computer with my 4/4 song template and started typing the psalms words, with very very few changes.  This is God.  This is God for YOU.
Dedicated to God,  23 September 2011 with amazed extolling!

4  “So the children of Israel put away [the false idols] and served the LORD only....
6  So they gathered together.... And they fasted that day, and said there, 'We have sinned against the LORD....
7 Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together... [they] went up against Israel.  And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines...
8  So the children of Israel said to Samuel 'Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.'
9  And Samuel [offered God a sacrifice]. Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him....
10  Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel.  But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel....
12  Then Samuel took a stone a set it up … and called its name EBENEZER, saying 'Thus far the LORD has helped us.' ” --  They thanked God, remembered what He had done.....
God's pattern for national victory to this day.
     God's pattern for national victory

Psalm 124 Drowning NOT, by DianaDee Osborne

PSALM 124 DROWNING  NOT     SUBSCRIBE  

ALBUM:      Amazing Psalms 'n' Promises
Song location  http://DianaDeeOsborneSongs.com/Songs-2013
               CLICK HERE    TO HEAR SONG  (FREE)  

Song Story:  THE  LYRICS:
Written on 1 Sept 2013.  On the World Wide Web on 6 Sept,
after being worked in all 3 studios.
Including Johnny K's "weeping guitar" and Claxton's dramatic drums.

This is God's song, not my 'talent'.  HISTORY:  On my second worship time at Little Zion church, the pastor was away but God's Holy Spirit assuredly led the speaker... and those worship leaders who did not KNOW what the message would be, but kept calling on the congregation to worship with the words "If it were not for the LORD."
             God had brought me through a terrible,  painful church period years earlier with the repeated assurance of Psalm 124.  So I knew exactly where these comforting promises were in God's Word.  And as we learned more from the speaker, I quickly sketched out these lyrics.  Then I drove to another church where I'm the paid musician for a later service.  I got there 20 minutes before the choir director and had completed this music by then.

This is... yet again... God's Song.  Dedicated to our Holy Spirit Song Writer,
1 September 2013

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:
Psalm 124, New King James Version:
A Song of Ascents. Of David. "If it had not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say--
"If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;  Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul."
Blessed [be] the LORD, Who has not given us [as] prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;  The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
