Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel:

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, Cum exurgerent homines in nos,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

forte vivos deglutissent nos: Cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos.

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Torrentem pertransivit anima nostra: forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.

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

Benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos, in captionem dentibus eorum.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium: Laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.

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

Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.
