Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
1ᾨδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. ΟΙ ΠΕΠΟΙΘΟΤΕΣ ἐπὶ Κύριον ὡς ὄρος Σιών· οὐ σαλευθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ὁ κατοικῶν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
2ὄρη κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ Κύριος κύκλῳ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
3ὅτι οὐκ ἀφήσει Κύριος τὴν ράβδον τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν ἐπὶ τὸν κλῆρον τῶν δικαίων, ὅπως ἂν μὴ ἐκτείνωσιν οἱ δίκαιοι ἐν ἀνομίαις χεῖρας αὐτῶν.
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
4ἀγάθυνον, Κύριε, τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς καὶ τοῖς εὐθέσι τῇ καρδίᾳ·
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
5τοὺς δὲ ἐκκλίνοντας εἰς τὰς στραγγαλιὰς ἀπάξει Κύριος μετὰ τῶν ἐργαζομένων τὴν ἀνομίαν εἰρήνη ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
