| New International Version | International Standard Version |
| 1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- | 1If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now say— |
| 2if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, | 2if the LORD had not been on our side, when men came against us, |
| 3they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; | 3then they would have devoured us alive, when their anger burned against us. |
| 4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, | 4Then the flood waters would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have flooded over us; |
| 5the raging waters would have swept us away. | 5the swollen waters would have swept us away. |
| 6Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. | 6Blessed be the LORD, who did not give us as prey to their teeth. |
| 7We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. | 7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's trap. The trap has been 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, the maker of heaven and earth. |
