Parallel Chapters Our Help is in the Name of the Lord | 1A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- | 1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say— | 1A Song of Ascents, of David. "Had it not been the LORD who was on our side," Let Israel now say, | 1A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; | 1A Davidic song of ascents. If the LORD had not been on our side-- let Israel say-- |
| 2if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, | 2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us, | 2"Had it not been the LORD who was on our side When men rose up against us, | 2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: | 2If the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us, |
| 3they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; | 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; | 3Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; | 3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: | 3then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. |
| 4the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, | 4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; | 4Then the waters would have engulfed us, The stream would have swept over our soul; | 4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: | 4Then the waters would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us; |
| 5the raging waters would have swept us away. | 5then over us would have gone the raging waters. | 5Then the raging waters would have swept over our soul." | 5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. | 5the raging waters would have swept over us. |
| 6Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. | 6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! | 6Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. | 6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. | 6Praise the LORD, who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth. |
| 7We have escaped like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped. | 7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped! | 7Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the trapper; The snare is broken and we have escaped. | 7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. | 7We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net; the net is torn, and we have escaped. |
| 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. | 8Our help is in the name of Yahweh, the Maker of heaven and earth. |
