- If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-
- if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
- when their anger flared against us, they would have swallowed us alive;
- the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us,
- the raging waters would have swept us away.
|
- If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
- If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
- Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
- Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
- Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
