1 If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say: 2If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us, 3Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us; 4Then, the waters, had whelmed us, the torrent, gone over our soul; 5Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

6Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth. 7Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped: 8Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
