1 <> If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
|
1 If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say--
|
|
2 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
|
2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
|
|
3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
|
3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
|
|
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
|
4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
|
|
5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
|
5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
|
|
6 Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
|
6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
|
|
7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
|
7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
|
|
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.
|
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
