Psalms 124

1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, diga ahora Israel;

2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, cuando se levantaron contra nosotros los hombres,

3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:

5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

Bendito Jehová, que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.

7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.

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

Nuestro socorro es en el nombre de Jehová, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.
