| 2 | ει μη οτι κυριος ην εν ημιν εν τω επαναστηναι ανθρωπους εφ ημας If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: |
| 3 | αρα ζωντας αν κατεπιον ημας εν τω οργισθηναι τον θυμον αυτων εφ ημας Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: |
| 4 | αρα το υδωρ κατεποντισεν ημας χειμαρρον διηλθεν η ψυχη ημων Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: |
| 5 | αρα διηλθεν η ψυχη ημων το υδωρ το ανυποστατον Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. |
| 6 | ευλογητος κυριος ος ουκ εδωκεν ημας εις θηραν τοις οδουσιν αυτων Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. |
| 7 | η ψυχη ημων ως στρουθιον ερρυσθη εκ της παγιδος των θηρευοντων η παγις συνετριβη και ημεις ερρυσθημεν Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. |
| 8 | η βοηθεια ημων εν ονοματι κυριου του ποιησαντος τον ουρανον και την γην Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. |
