1If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

1A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save <FI>for<Fi> Jehovah--who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

2If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us;

2Save <FI>for<Fi> Jehovah--who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

3Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:

3Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us:

3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

6Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

6Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

6Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, Who made heaven and earth.

8Our help <FI>is<Fi> in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
