| [1]A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
[1]If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say; |
| [2]If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
[2]if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us; |
| [3]Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
[3]verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
| [4]Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
[4]verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent. |
| [5]Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
[5]Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water. |
| [6]Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
[6]Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth. |
| [7]Our soul hath escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped. |
[7]Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered. |
| [8]Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
[8]Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
