¹If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

¹Nyanyian ziarah Daud. Bagaimana seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita? Hai Israel, jawablah demikian:

²if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

²"Seandainya TUHAN tidak memihak kita waktu kita diserang lawan,

³then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

³maka kita sudah ditelan hidup-hidup, oleh kemarahan mereka yang meluap-luap.

⁴then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

⁴Maka kita sudah dihanyutkan banjir, dan digenangi air;

⁵maka kita sudah mati tenggelam dalam pusaran air yang seram."

⁶Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

⁶Mari kita bersyukur kepada TUHAN, sebab Ia tidak membiarkan kita dimusnahkan lawan.

⁷Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁷Kita seperti burung yang lepas dari jerat pemburu, jerat itu sudah putus, dan kita pun lepas!

⁸Our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

⁸Pertolongan kita datang dari TUHAN yang menciptakan langit dan bumi.
