1 What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat: 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 What 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 They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger. 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 The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed 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 Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives. then over us would have gone the raging waters. the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart! 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 from a hunter’s trap. The trap is broken, and we are free! 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 from 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.
