2 לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה שֶׁהָיָה לָנוּבְּקוּם עָלֵינוּ אָדָֽם׃	2 if Yahweh had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 אֲזַי חַיִּים בְּלָעוּנוּבַּחֲרוֹת אַפָּם בָּֽנוּ׃	3 they would have swal owed us alive in the heat of their anger.
4 אֲזַי הַמַּיִם שְׁטָפוּנוּנַחְלָה עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃	4 Then water was washing us away, a torrent running right over us;
5 אֲזַי עָבַר עַל־נַפְשֵׁנוּהַמַּיִם הַזֵּידוֹנִֽים׃	5 running right over us then were turbulent waters.
6 בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָהשֶׁלֹּא נְתָנָנוּ טֶרֶף לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃	6 Blessed be Yahweh for not letting us fall a prey to their teeth!
7 נַפְשֵׁנוּ כְּצִפּוֹר נִמְלְטָה מִפַּח יוֹקְשִׁיםהַפַּח נִשְׁבָּרוַאֲנַחְנוּ נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃	7 We escaped like a bird from the fowlers' net. The net was broken and we escaped;
8 עֶזְרֵנוּ בְּשֵׁם יְהֹוָהעֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָֽרֶץ׃	8 our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
