1	<V 123:1>A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:	If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say—	A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2	<V 123:2>if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,	if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,	if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3	<V 123:3>perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,	then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;	they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4	<V 123:4>perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.	then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;	the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5	<V 123:5>Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.	then over us would have gone the raging waters.	the raging waters would have swept us away.
6	<V 123:6>Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.	Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!	Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7	<V 123:7>Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.	We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!	We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8	<V 123:8>Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.	Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.	Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
