| 1 | If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: | 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 | If it had not been that the Lord was 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 | perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled 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 | perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. | 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 | Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. | then over us would have gone the raging waters. | the raging waters would have swept us away. | |
| 6 | Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to 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 | Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. | 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 | 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. | |
