1 <<A Ma`alot Song. By David.>> If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, Let Yisra'el now say,
1
A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),
2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, When men rose up against us;
2
Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,
3 Then they would have swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
3
Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,
4 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
4
Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,
5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
5
Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.
6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
6
Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, 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.
7
Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and eretz.
8
Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
