King James Version KJV
Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
1
(123-1) <A gradual canticle.> If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
2
(123-2) If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
3
(123-3) Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
4
(123-4) Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
5
(123-5) Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
6
(123-6) Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be 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.
7
(123-7) Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
8
(123-8) Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
