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 [A Song of degrees. Of David.] If it had not been Jehovah who was for us-oh let Israel say-2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
