Psalmorum 124

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

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

2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis cum exsurgerent in nos homines

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

3 forte vivos degluttissent nos cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos

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

4 forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos

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

5 torrentem pertransivit anima nostra forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem

Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

6 benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum

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

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

Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8 adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini qui fecit caelum et terram

Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!
