Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,
2In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,
3For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,
4Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5then the raging waters would have swept us away.
5But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
