17 Unless the Lord had given me help,

I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

17 If the Lord had not been my help,

my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

17 Unless the Lord had helped me,

I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.

17 Unless the Lord had been my help,

My soul would soon have settled in silence.

17 If the Lord had not helped me,

I would have died in a minute.

17 Unless Jehovah had been my help,

My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

17 If the Lord had not come to help me, 

my soul would have quickly fallen silent ⸤in death⸥. 

17 If the Lord had not been my helper,

I would soon rest in the silence of death.

17 If the Lord had not been my help,

my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

17 If Yahweh had not been my help,

my soul would soon have dwelt in silence.

17 Suppose the Lord had not helped me.

Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.

17 If the Lord had not been my help,

My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
