Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

then the raging waters would have swept us away .

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

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

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

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

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

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