2. If it had not been Hashem Who was lanu, when adam (man) rose up against us;
3. Then they had swallowed us up chayyim (alive); when their wrath was kindled against us;
4. Then the mayim would have overwhelmed us, the torrent would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh);
5. Then the mayim hazedonim (treacherous waters) would have swept over nafsheinu (our nefesh).
6. Baruch Hashem, Who hath not given us up as a prey to their shinayim (teeth).
