1. If יְהוָ֥ה who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2. If יְהוָ֥ה who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

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

5. Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6. Blessed יְהוָ֥ה, who hath not given us a prey to their teeth.

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

8. Our help in the name of יְהוָ֥ה, who made heaven and earth.
