1 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,

Let Israel now say,

2 If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side,

When men rose up against us;

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive,

When their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us,

The stream had gone over our soul;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Jehovah,

Who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:

The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah,

Who made heaven and earth.

1 He waiata; he pikitanga. Na Rawiri. Me kaua a Ihowa i a tatou, he ki tenei ma Iharaira:

2 Me kaua a Ihowa i a tatou, i te whakatikanga mai o te tangata ki a tatou;

3 Penei kua horomia oratia tatou e ratou, i te muranga o to ratou riri ki a tatou.

4 Kua ngaro tatou i nga wai, kua taupokina o tatou wairua e te ia.

5 Penei kua taupokina o tatou wairua e nga wai whakakake.

6 Kia whakapaingia a Ihowa, kihai nei i tuku i a tatou hei ngaunga ma o ratou niho.

7 Kua mawhiti o tatou wairua, me he manu i roto i te mahanga a nga kaihopu; kua motu te mahanga, a mawhiti ana tatou.

8 Kei te ingoa o Ihowa he awhina mo tatou, kei te kaihanga i te rangi, i te whenua.
