New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say,
1
If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—
2 "Had it 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 people attacked us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;
3
they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;
4
the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul."
5
the raging waters would have swept us away.
6 Blessed be the LORD , Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
6
Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
