| 1 | [A song by David for going up to worship.] |If the LORD had not been on our side...| (Israel should repeat this.) | 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 the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked 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 | then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger exploded 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 | Then the floodwaters would have swept us away. An [overflowing] stream would have washed us away. | 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 | Then raging water would have washed us away.| | then over us would have gone the raging waters. | the raging waters would have swept us away. | |
| 6 | Thank the LORD, who did not let them sink their teeth into us. | 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 | We escaped like a bird caught in a hunter's trap. The trap was broken, and we escaped. | 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, the maker of 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. | |
