Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

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

2 if it had not been that the Lord was among us, when men rose up against us;

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

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

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

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Entonces pasaran sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

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

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

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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

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

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