1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
let Israel now say,
2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us,
4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the stream would have gone over our soul.
5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6 Blessed be Yahweh,
who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in Yahweh’s name,
who made heaven and earth.

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Van Dawid. As die HERE nie vir ons was nie -- laat Israel dit sê --2 as die HERE nie vir ons was toe die mense teen ons opgestaan het nie,3 dan het hulle ons lewendig verslind toe hulle toorn teen ons ontvlam het;4 dan het die waters ons oorstroom, 'n stroom het oor ons siel gegaan;5 dan het die trotse waters oor ons siel gegaan.6 Geloofd sy die HERE wat ons aan hulle tande nie as buit oorgegee het nie!7 Ons siel het vrygeraak soos 'n voël uit die vangnet van die voëlvangers; die vangnet is gebreek, en ons, ons het vrygeraak.8 Ons hulp is in die Naam van die HERE wat hemel en aarde gemaak het.
