Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible YLT Young's Literal Translation

A song of ascents . Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

A Song of the Ascents , by David. Save `for' Jehovah -- who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

Save `for' Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive ,

Then alive they had swallowed us up , In the burning of their anger against us,

then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us ,

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul ,

then the raging waters would have swept us away .

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Blessed `is' Jehovah who hath not given us , A prey to their teeth.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn , and we have slipped away .

Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken , and we have escaped .

Our help is in the name of the LORD , the Maker of heaven and earth .

Our help ` is ' in the name of Jehovah , Maker of the heavens and earth !
