¹ A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us || (Pray, let Israel say),² If YHWH had not been for us, || In the rising up of man against us,³ Then they had swallowed us alive, || In the burning of their anger against us,⁴ Then the waters had overflowed us, || The stream passed over our soul,⁵ Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

⁶ Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, || [As] prey to their teeth.⁷ Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, || The snare was broken, and we have escaped.⁸ Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, || Maker of the heavens and earth!
