| 2 | if the Lord had not been on our side when men attacked us, | If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: | if it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, | If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, When men rose up against us; |
| 3 | when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, | Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: | then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us, | Then they had swallowed us up alive, When their wrath was kindled against us: |
| 4 | then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us, | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: | then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul. | Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul; |
| 5 | then the raging waters would have swept us away. | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. | Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. | Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| 6 | Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth. | Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. | Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. | Blessed be Jehovah, Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 7 | We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away. | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. | Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. | Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: The snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
