ASV(i)
1 A Song of Ascents; of David.
If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
Let Israel now say, 2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,
When men rose up against us; 3 Then they had swallowed us up alive,
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 be Jehovah,
Who hath not given us as 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 is in the name of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
