| [1]A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; |
[1]Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat |
| [2]If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
[2]in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum. |
| [3]Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
[3]Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum; ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas, |
| [4]Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
[4]benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde. |
| [5]Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
[5]Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël ! |
| [6]Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as 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. |

| [8]Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
