1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare— | 1A Song of Ascents, of David. "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say, |
2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, | 2"Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us, |
3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, | 3Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; |
4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us, | 4Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; |
5then the raging waters would have swept us away. | 5Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul." |
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. | 6Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. |
7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away. | 7Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. |
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. |
