1
> If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,
2
If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
3
Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
4
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
5
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be Yahweh, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.
