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 RAB bizden yana olmasaydı, 2 Desin şimdi İsrail:
2 RAB bizden yana olmasaydı, 2 İnsanlar bize saldırdığında,
3 Diri diri yutarlardı bizi, 2 Öfkeleri bize karşı alevlenince.
4 Sular silip süpürürdü bizleri, 2 Seller geçerdi üzerimizden.
5 Kabaran sular 2 Aşardı başımızdan.
6 Övgüler olsun 2 Bizi onların ağzına yem etmeyen RABbe!
7 Bir kuş gibi 2 Kurtuldu canımız avcının tuzağından, 2 Kırıldı tuzak, kurtulduk.
8 Yeri göğü yaratan 2 RAB'bin adı yardımcımızdır.
