Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Cântico dos degraus, de Davi: Diga, Israel: O que [seria de nós] se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco?

2 if it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

Se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

Eles teriam nos devorado vivos, quando o furor deles se acendeu contra nós.

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

As águas teriam nos coberto, [e] a corrente de águas teria passado por sobre nossas almas.

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

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

Bendito seja o SENHOR, que não nos entregou como presa aos dentes deles.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Nossa alma escapou como um pássaro da armadilha dos caçadores; a cadeia se quebrou, e nós escapamos.

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

Nosso socorro está no nome do SENHOR, que fez o céu e a terra.
