If the Lord hadn't been on our side
If the LORD hadn't been on our side — let Israel say it now — if the LORD hadn't been on our side when men rose against us, they would have swallowed us alive when their anger burned against us. Then the waters would have overwhelmed us; the stream would have gone over our soul. Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hasn't handed us over as prey to their teeth. Our soul escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers. The snare was broken, and we escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
If the Lord hadn't been on our side — let Israel say it now — if the Lord hadn't been on our side when men got up against us, they'd have swallowed us up alive when their anger burned against us. Then the waters would have gone over us. The stream would have gone over our soul. Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hasn't handed us over as prey to their teeth. Our soul has got away like a bird out of the trapper's net. The net is broken and we've got away. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
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. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
if the LORD hadn't been on our side when men rose against us,
if the Lord hadn't been on our side when men got up against us,
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
they would have swallowed us alive when their anger burned against us.
they'd have swallowed us up alive when their anger burned against us.
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us; the stream would have gone over our soul.
Then the waters would have gone over us. The stream would have gone over our soul.
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Blessed be the LORD, who hasn't handed us over as prey to their teeth.
Blessed be the Lord, who hasn't handed us over as prey to their teeth.
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers. The snare was broken, and we escaped.
Our soul has got away like a bird out of the trapper's net. The net is broken and we've got away.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
