Here is what Israel should say. Suppose the Lord had not been on our side.

以色列人要说：若不是耶和华帮助我们，

说吧，以色列：“若不是耶和华帮助我们，

说吧，以色列：“若不是耶和华帮助我们，

以色列人要说：若不是耶和华帮助我们，

愿以色列人说：如果不是耶和华帮助我们，（本节在《马索拉文本》包括细字标题）

愿以色列说：“要不是耶和华在我们这边，

以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，

說吧，以色列：「若不是耶和華幫助我們，

說吧，以色列：「若不是耶和華幫助我們，

以色列人要說：若不是耶和華幫助我們，

願以色列人說：如果不是耶和華幫助我們，（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）

讓以色列說：若不是永恆主、他在為我們，

願以色列說：「要不是耶和華在我們這邊，

以色列當曰、非耶和華偕我、

以色列族當曰、遇有仇敵、怒而攻予、如耶和華不加眷祐、則予早被生吞兮、

以色列民當云、若非主保祐我、

惟願我義塞。向主披心臆。

If the Lord had not been on our side— let Israel say—

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side— let Israel now say—

What if the Lord had not been on our side? Let all Israel repeat:

If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel say—

“ Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel say,

“ If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—

If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

If the Lord had not been on our side— let Israel say—

If[ it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

“ If the LORD had not been on our side”– let Israel say this!–

If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

What should we say then? Since God is on our side, who can be against us?

My enemies will turn back when I call out to you for help. Then I will know that God is on my side.

I call out to the Lord when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.

Here is what Israel should say.“ My enemies have treated me badly ever since I was a young nation.

But I know that God helps me. The Lord is the one who keeps me going.

Don’t be controlled by love for money. Be happy with what you have. God has said,“ I will never leave you. I will never desert you.”( Deuteronomy 31:6)So we can say boldly,“ The Lord helps me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me?”( Psalm 118:6, 7)

The Lord is with me. I will not be afraid. What can mere human beings do to me?The Lord is with me. He helps me. I win the battle over my enemies.

Sound the battle cry, you nations! But you will be torn apart. Listen, all you lands far away! Prepare for battle! But you will be torn apart. Prepare for battle! But you will be torn apart.Make your battle plans! But you won’t succeed. Give your orders! But they won’t be carried out. That’s because God is with us.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last forever.

The Lord is my light, and he saves me. Why should I fear anyone? The Lord is my place of safety. Why should I be afraid?

Suppose the Lord had not helped me. Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.

Blessed are all those who have respect for the Lord. They live as he wants them to live.

I look up to the mountains. Where does my help come from?

If the Lord doesn’t build a house, the work of the builders is useless. If the Lord doesn’t watch over a city, it’s useless for those on guard duty to stand watch over it.

The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.

Lord, I cry out to you because I’m suffering so deeply.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in peace!

Our enemies took us away from Zion. But when the Lord brought us home, it seemed like a dream to us.

I look up and pray to you. Your throne is in heaven.

Lord, remember David and all the times he didn’t do what he wanted.

Lord, my heart isn’t proud. My eyes aren’t proud either. I don’t concern myself with important matters. I don’t concern myself with things that are too wonderful for me.

All you who serve the Lord, praise the Lord. All you who serve at night in the house of the Lord, praise him.

Here is the song that Moses and the people of Israel sang to the Lord. They said,“ I will sing to the Lord. He is greatly honored. He has thrown Pharaoh’s horses and chariot drivers into the Red Sea.

I was very glad when they said to me,“ Let us go up to the house of the Lord.”

The Lord who rules over all is with us. The God of Jacob is like a fort to us.
