If
לוּלֵ֣י
it had not been the LORD
יְ֭הוָה
 
שֶׁהָ֣יָה
 
לָ֑נוּ
say
יֹֽאמַר
 
נָ֝א
who was on our side now may Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

If
לוּלֵ֣י
it had not been the LORD
יְ֭הוָה
 
שֶׁהָ֣יָה
 
לָ֑נוּ
rose up
בְּק֖וּם
 
עָלֵ֣ינוּ
who was on our side when men
אָדָֽם׃
3
Then
אֲ֭זַי
quick
חַיִּ֣ים
they had swallowed us up
בְּלָע֑וּנוּ
was kindled
בַּחֲר֖וֹת
when their wrath
אַפָּ֣ם
 
בָּֽנוּ׃
4
Then
אֲ֭זַי
the waters
הַמַּ֣יִם
had overwhelmed
שְׁטָפ֑וּנוּ
us the stream
נַ֝֗חְלָה
had gone over
עָבַ֥ר
 
עַל
our soul
נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ׃
5
Then
אֲ֭זַי
had gone over
עָבַ֣ר
 
עַל
our soul
נַפְשֵׁ֑נוּ
waters
הַ֝מַּ֗יִם
the proud
הַזֵּֽידוֹנִֽים׃

Blessed
בָּר֥וּךְ
be the LORD
יְהוָ֑ה
 
שֶׁלֹּ֥א
who hath not given
נְתָנָ֥נוּ
us as a prey
טֶ֝֗רֶף
to their teeth
לְשִׁנֵּיהֶֽם׃
7
Our soul
נַפְשֵׁ֗נוּ
as a bird
כְּצִפּ֥וֹר
and we are escaped
נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃
out of the snare
הַפַּ֥ח
of the fowlers
י֫וֹקְשִׁ֥ים
out of the snare
הַפַּ֥ח
is broken
נִשְׁבָּ֗ר
 
וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ
and we are escaped
נִמְלָֽטְנוּ׃

Our help
עֶ֭זְרֵנוּ
is in the name
בְּשֵׁ֣ם
of the LORD
יְהוָ֑ה
who made
עֹ֝שֵׂ֗ה
heaven
שָׁמַ֥יִם
and earth
וָאָֽרֶץ׃
