Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us || (Pray, let Israel say),
2
If YHWH had not been for us, || In the rising up of man against us,
3
Then they had swallowed us alive, || In the burning of their anger against us,
4
Then the waters had overflowed us, || The stream passed over our soul,
5
Then proud waters had passed over our soul.
6
Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, || [As] prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, || The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!

Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2
if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
4
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6
Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
