Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

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

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis cum exsurgerent in nos homines

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

forte vivos degluttissent nos cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

torrentem pertransivit anima nostra forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was 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 the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini qui fecit caelum et terram
