A Davidic * song of ascents.
1 If the Lord had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 If the Lord had not been on our side t
when men attacked us, u
3 then they would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger against us. v
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us;
the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging waters would have swept over us. w
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth. x
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped. y
8 Our help is in the name of * Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth. z

About The Holman Christian Standard BibleThe complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form. Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader. Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him. |
