| If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; | |
| If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: | |
| Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: | |
| Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: | |
| Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. | |
| Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. | |
| Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. | |
| Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
