1. What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:
|
1. A Song H7892 of degrees H4609 of David H1732 . If H3884 it had not been the LORD H3068 who was H7945 H1961 on our side, now H4994 may Israel H3478 say H559 ;
|
|
2. What if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us?
|
2. If H3884 it had not been the LORD H3068 who was H7945 H1961 on our side , when men H120 rose up H6965 against H5921 us:
|
|
3. They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger.
|
3. Then H233 they had swallowed us up H1104 quick H2416 , when their wrath H639 was kindled H2734 against us:
|
|
4. The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
|
4. Then H233 the waters H4325 had overwhelmed H7857 us , the stream H5158 had gone H5674 over H5921 our soul H5315 :
|
|
5. Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.
|
5. Then H233 the proud H2121 waters H4325 had gone H5674 over H5921 our soul H5315 .
|
|
6. Praise the LORD, who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
|
6. Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 , who hath not H7945 H3808 given H5414 us as a prey H2964 to their teeth H8127 .
|
|
7. We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap is broken, and we are free!
|
7. Our soul H5315 is escaped H4422 as a bird H6833 out of the snare H4480 H6341 of the fowlers H3369 : the snare H6341 is broken H7665 , and we H587 are escaped H4422 .
|
|
8. Our help is from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.
|
8. Our help H5828 is in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , who made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth H776 .
