Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

Cântico dos degraus, de Davi: Diga, Israel: O que [seria de nós] se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco?

2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

Se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Eles teriam nos devorado vivos, quando o furor deles se acendeu contra nós.

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

As águas teriam nos coberto, [e] a corrente de águas teria passado por sobre nossas almas.

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Bendito seja o SENHOR, que não nos entregou como presa aos dentes deles.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Nossa alma escapou como um pássaro da armadilha dos caçadores; a cadeia se quebrou, e nós escapamos.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Nosso socorro está no nome do SENHOR, que fez o céu e a terra.
