Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
1They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
2In Jerusalem. Mountains are round about it: so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth now and for ever.
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
3For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
4Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
5But such as turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead out with the workers of iniquity: peace upon Israel.
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
