1. What if the Lord had not been on our side? (Let Israel repeat this.)
|
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 we were attacked?
|
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. When they were angry with us, they would have swallowed us alive.
|
3. Then H233 they had swallowed us up H1104 quick H2416 , when their wrath H639 was kindled H2734 against us:
|
|
4. They would have been like a flood drowning us; they would have poured over us like a river.
|
4. Then H233 the waters H4325 had overwhelmed H7857 us , the stream H5158 had gone H5674 over H5921 our soul H5315 :
|
|
5. They would have swept us away like a mighty stream.
|
5. Then H233 the proud H2121 waters H4325 had gone H5674 over H5921 our soul H5315 .
|
|
6. Praise the Lord, who did not let them chew us up.
|
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 the hunter's trap. The trap broke, and we escaped.
|
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 comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. A song for going up to worship.
|
8. Our help H5828 is in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 , who made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth H776 .
