Our help is in the name of the Lord

1
A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,
2
“if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side when men rose up against us,
3
then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.
4
The water would have swept us away; the river would have overwhelmed us.
5
Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”
6
Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.
7
We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8
Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven 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.
