| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say ;
|
1 If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say--
|
|
2 If it had not been the LORD 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 had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
|
3 when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
|
|
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
|
4 the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
|
|
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
|
5 the raging waters would have swept us away.
|
|
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath 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.
