King James Version with Apocrypha
1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
1Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
3Have mercy upon us, O LORD , have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
5Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
