World English Bible
1Canticum graduum. [Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
2in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
3Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum: ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
4benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
5Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël !]
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
