Psalms 124

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, díga lo ahora Israel:

2 If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

3 They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

Vivos nos tragaran entonces: cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros:

4 Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

Entonces las aguas inundaran sobre nosotros: el arroyo pasara sobre nuestra alma.

5 They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

Entonces pasaran sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

6 Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

Bendito Jehová que no nos dio por presa a sus dientes.

7 We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

Nuestra alma, como ave, escapó del lazo de los cazadores: el lazo se quebró, y nosotros escapamos.

8 Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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