JPS Tanakh 1917 1A Song of Ascents; of David. ‘If it had not been the LORD who was for us’, Let Israel now say;
2‘If it had not been the LORD who was for us, When men rose up against us,
3Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;
5Then the proud waters Had gone over our soul.’
6Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
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. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ACCORDING TO THE MASORETIC TEXT A NEW TRANSLATION |
