Salmos 124

1 Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel;

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2 Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

3 Elles então nos teriam engulido vivos, quando a sua ira se accendesse contra nós.

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4 Então as aguas teriam trasbordado sobre nós, e a corrente teria passado sobre a nossa alma;

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 Então as aguas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

6 Bemdito seja o Senhor, que não nos deu por preza aos seus dentes.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

7 A nossa alma escapou, como um passaro do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapámos.

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 O nosso soccorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez o céu e a terra.

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