²If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

³If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

⁴If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

⁵Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

⁶Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

⁷Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁸Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

⁹Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

¹¹Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

¹²Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

¹³Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

¹⁴Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
