Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.
1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD, our God, until he has mercy on us.
2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
3Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
