A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
What if the LORD had not been on our side?
Let all Israel repeat:
Ein Lied Davids im höhern Chor. Wo der HERR nicht bei uns wäre, so sage Israel,
What if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us?
when people attacked us?
wo der HERR nicht bei uns wäre, wenn die Menschen sich wider uns setzen:
They would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger.
in their burning anger.
so verschlängen sie uns lebendig, wenn ihr Zorn über uns ergrimmte;
The waters would have engulfed us;
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
a torrent would have overwhelmed us.
so ersäufte uns Wasser, Ströme gingen über unsre Seele;
Yes, the raging waters of their fury
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
would have overwhelmed our very lives.
es gingen Wasser allzu hoch über unsre Seele.
Praise the LORD,
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
who did not let their teeth tear us apart!
Gelobet sei der HERR, daß er uns nicht gibt zum Raub in ihre Zähne!
We escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
The trap is broken, and we are free!
The trap is broken, and we are free!
Unsre Seele ist entronnen wie ein Vogel dem Stricke des Voglers; der Strick ist zerrissen, und wir sind los.
