Holman Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1A Davidic song of ascents. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- 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,
3then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. 3they would have swallowed us alive, when their anger raged against us.
4Then the waters would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us; 4The water would have overpowered us; the current would have overwhelmed us.
5the raging waters would have swept over us. 5The raging water would have overwhelmed us.
6Praise the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by 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 hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped. 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 Yahweh, the Maker of heaven and earth. 8Our deliverer is the LORD, the Creator of heaven and earth.
