Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents; of David. “If Yahweh had not been on our side,” let Israel say now,

canticum graduum huic David nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis dicat nunc Israhel

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

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis cum exsurgerent in nos homines

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive when their anger raged against us.

forte vivos degluttissent nos cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos

4 The water would have swept us away; the torrent would have overwhelmed us.

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos

5 Then the raging waters would have drowned us.”

torrentem pertransivit anima nostra forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem

6 Blessed be Yahweh, who has not allowed us to be torn by their teeth.

benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum

7 We have escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.

anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium laqueus contritus est et nos liberati sumus

8 Our help is in Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.

adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini qui fecit caelum et terram
