New American Standard Bible
Chapter 124
1'Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,' Let Israel say, 2'Had it not been the Lord who was on our side When people rose up against us, 3Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their anger was kindled against us; 4Then the waters would have flooded over us, The stream would have swept over our souls; 5Then the raging waters would have swept over our souls.' 6Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us to be torn by their teeth. 7Our souls have escaped like a bird from the trapper’s snare; The snare is broken and we have escaped.King James Version

1A song of ascents. Of David. If the Lord had not been on our side— let Israel say— 2If the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us, 3then they would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger against us. 4Then the water would have engulfed us; the torrent would have swept over us;New Living Translation

1What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat: 2What if the Lord had not been on our side when people attacked us? 3They would have swallowed us alive in their burning anger. 4The waters would have engulfed us; a torrent would have overwhelmed us. 5Yes, the raging waters of their fury would have overwhelmed our very lives.English Standard Version

1 If 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 people rose up against us, 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us; 4then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us; 5then over us would have gone the raging waters. 6Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth! 7We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!New International Version
