| 1If the LORD had not been on our side--let Israel say-- | 1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- |
| 2If the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, | 2if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, |
| 3then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. | 3they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; |
| 4Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us; | 4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, |
| 5the raging water would have swept over us. | 5the raging waters would have swept us away. |
| 6Blessed be the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth. | 6Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. |
| 7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped. | 7We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been 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, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
