A Song of Ascents. Of David.
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side —
let Israel now say —

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side —
let Israel now say —
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?

if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
when people rose up against us,

They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.

when their anger was kindled against us;

would have overwhelmed our very lives.

Praise the LORD,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!

who has not given us
as prey to their teeth!

We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!

We have escaped like a bird
from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
and we have escaped!

and we have escaped!
