1A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save <FI>for<Fi> Jehovah--who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);
1 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —
2Save <FI>for<Fi> Jehovah--who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
2If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
3They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
4We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
5Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
5Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
6Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
7Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
7Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
