| 1 | If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: | Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël, | Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Εἰ μὴ ὅτι Κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, εἰπάτω δὴ Ἰσραὴλ, |
| 2 | If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us, | nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis: cum exsurgerent homines in nos, | εἰ μὴ ὅτι Κύριος ἦν ἐν ἡμῖν, ἐν τῷ ἐπαναστῆναι ἀνθρώπους ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, |
| 3 | Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, | forte vivos deglutissent nos; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos, | ἄρα ζῶντας ἂν κατέπιον ἡμᾶς· ἐν τῷ ὀργισθῆναι τὸν θυμὸν αὐτῶν ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς, |
| 4 | Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up. | forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos; | ἄρα τὸ ὕδωρ ἂν κατεπόντισεν ἡμᾶς· χείμαῤῥον διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν. |
| 5 | Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable. | torrentem pertransivit anima nostra; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem. | Ἄρα διῆλθεν ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἀνυπόστατον. |
| 6 | Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth. | Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum. | Εὐλογητὸς Κύριος, ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκεν ἡμᾶς εἰς θήραν τοῖς ὀδοῦσιν αὐτῶν. |
| 7 | Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered. | Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus. | Ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὡς στρουθίον ἐῤῥύσθη ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τῶν θηρευόντων· ἡ παγὶς συνετρίβη, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐῤῥύσθημεν. |
| 8 | Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. | Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit caelum et terram. | Ἡ βοήθεια ἡμῶν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου, τοῦ ποιήσαντος τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν. |
