¹ "If the Lord had not been on our side"—
let Israel say this!—
² if the Lord had not been on our side,
when men attacked us,
³ they would have swallowed us alive,
when their anger raged against us.
⁴ The water would have overpowered us;
the current would have overwhelmed us.
⁵ The raging water
would have overwhelmed us.
⁶ The Lord deserves praise,
for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
⁷ We escaped with our lives, like a bird from a hunter's snare.
The snare broke, and we escaped.
⁸ Our deliverer is the Lord,
the Creator of heaven and earth.
