Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Canticum graduum. [Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,
1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis: cum exsurgerent homines in nos,
2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3forte vivos deglutissent nos; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,
3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos;
4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5torrentem pertransivit anima nostra; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.
5Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.
6Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
7Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.
7Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
8Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.]
8Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
