< Psalms 124 >

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —
Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel;
2 If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,
3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
Elles então nos teriam engulido vivos, quando a sua ira se accendesse contra nós.
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
Então as aguas teriam trasbordado sobre nós, e a corrente teria passado sobre a nossa alma;
5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Então as aguas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.
6 Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
Bemdito seja o Senhor, que não nos deu por preza aos seus dentes.
7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
A nossa alma escapou, como um passaro do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapámos.
8 Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
O nosso soccorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez o céu e a terra.
