New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95
English Standard Version ESV
1 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say,
1
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say—
2 "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us,
2
if it had not been the Lord who was on our side when people rose up against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us;
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul;
4
then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
5 Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul."
5
then over us would have gone the raging waters.
6 Blessed be the LORD , Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth.
6
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!
7 Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped.
7
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD , Who made heaven and earth.
8
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
