1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare— | 1A song of ascents, by David. "If the LORD had not been on our side"--let Israel say this!-- |
2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, | 2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men attacked us, |
3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, | 3they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us. |
4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us, | 4The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us. |
5then the raging waters would have swept us away. | 5The raging water would have overwhelmed us. |
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. | 6The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth. |
7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away. | 7We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare. The snare broke, and we escaped. |
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | 8Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth. |
