A Song of degrees of David. 1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over us:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over us.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 We have escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and Earth.




King James Version (KJV)
1 A Song of degrees of David. If [it had] not [been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2 If [it had] not [been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6 Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] 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 are escaped.
8 Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.


Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
2 Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.
7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
