| 1 | If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: |
| 2 | If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us, |
| 3 | Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, |
| 4 | Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. |
| 5 | Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. |
| 6 | Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. |
| 7 | Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. |
| 8 | Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. |
