Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side , now may Israel say ;

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

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us :

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick , when their wrath was kindled against us :

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul :

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul .

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

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

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

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers : the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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