If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
Without the Lord on their side, His people and His work would have been overwhelmed by their financial struggles. That deliverance is not abstract but practical, sustaining an institution through debt and pressure that would otherwise have swallowed it. Even in the difficult winter months, when hardship presses hardest, His being on their side is made visible. He cares for His own work, guides it for a wise purpose, and gives unmistakable evidence of tender watch-care over those engaged in it.
