דברים לב ,כו : אָמַרְ ת ִּי אַפְאֵׁיהֶם אַש ְב ִּיתָה מֵׁאֱנוֹש זִּכְרָ ם:

Baal HaTurim states that the last letters of "Ashbisah me'enosh zichrom" spell Moshe, and the next word is "lulei" (were it not). This hints at the Pasuk in Tehilim (106,23) "And He said that He would destroy them, had Moshe His chosen one not (lulei) stood in the breach.” (in reference to the Golden Calf).

If not for Moshe Rabeinu, who Davened for us on a number of occasions and was moser nefesh for us, we would not be here today.
