A song of degrees. Of Dawiḏ.
1 “If it had not been 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who was on our side,”
Let Yisra’ĕl now say;
2 “If it had not been 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3 “Then they would have swallowed us alive,
In their burning rage against us;
4 “Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our being;
5 “Then the proud waters
Would have gone over our being.”
6 Baruḵ be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
Who did not give us as prey to their teeth.
7 Our being has escaped like a bird
From the snare of the trappers;
The snare was broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄,
Maker of the shamayim and earth.
