Lutherbibel 1912
1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
1Ein Lied im höhern Chor. Ich hebe meine Augen auf zu dir, der du im Himmel sitzest.
2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
2Siehe! wie die Augen der Knechte auf die Hände ihrer Herren sehen, wie die Augen der Magd auf die Hände ihrer Frau, also sehen unsre Augen auf den HERRN, unsern Gott, bis er uns gnädig werde.
3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
3Sei uns gnädig, HERR, sei uns gnädig! denn wir sind sehr voll Verachtung.
4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
4Sehr voll ist unsre Seele von der Stolzen Spott und der Hoffärtigen Verachtung.
5Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
