Berean Study Bible | English Standard Version |
1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel now declare— | 1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— |
2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, | 2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us, |
3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, | 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; |
4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us, | 4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; |
5then the raging waters would have swept us away. | 5then over us would have gone the raging waters. |
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. | 6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! |
7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away. | 7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! |
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
