If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say

If GOD hadn’t been for us —all together now, Israel, sing out!— If GOD hadn’t been for us when everyone went against us, We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger, Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water.

“Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say

What if the LORD had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say

What if the LORD had not been on our side? (Let Israel repeat this.)

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say

“If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say

What if God had not been on our side? Let all Israel admit this!

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side— let Israel now say
