Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel;

2 'If it had not been the LORD 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 wrath 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, the stream 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 the LORD, who hath not given us as 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 are 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 the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

O nosso soccorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez o céu e a terra.
