¹A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

¹If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

²if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

²If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

³verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

³Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

⁴verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

⁴Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁵Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

⁵Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁷Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

⁷Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

⁸Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
