Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,
1Canticum graduum. [Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion: non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
2in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,
3Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum: ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,
4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.
4benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.
5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
5Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël !]
6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
