Zürcher Bibel 1931
1EIN Wallfahrtslied. Von David. "Wäre der Herr nicht für uns gewesen -" / so möge Israel sprechen - /
2"wäre der Herr nicht für uns gewesen, / als Menschen wider uns aufstanden: /
3dann hätten sie uns lebendig verschlungen, / da ihr Zorn wider uns entbrannt war, / (a) Spr 1:12
4dann hätten die Wasser uns überflutet, / es wäre der Wildbach über uns hingegangen, /
5über uns hingegangen wären / die überwallenden Wasser." /
6Gelobt sei der Herr, der uns nicht dahingab / ihren Zähnen zum Raube! /
7Unsre Seele ist wie ein Vogel, / der dem Netze der Vogelsteller entronnen; / das Netz ist zerrissen, und wir sind entronnen. / (a) Spr 6:5
8Unsre Hilfe steht im Namen des Herrn, / der Himmel und Erde gemacht hat. (a) Ps 121:2
Reina-Valera 1909
1Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, diga ahora Israel;
2A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, cuando se levantaron contra nosotros los hombres,
3Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.
4Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:
5Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.
6Bendito Jehová, que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.
7Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.
8Nuestro socorro es en el nombre de Jehová, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.
King James Version
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
World English Bible
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
