< Salmos 124 >

1 Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel;
A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among 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 among us, when men rose up against us;
3 Elles então nos teriam engulido vivos, quando a sua ira se accendesse contra nós.
verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:
4 Então as aguas teriam trasbordado sobre nós, e a corrente teria passado sobre a nossa alma;
verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.
5 Então as aguas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.
Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.
6 Bemdito seja o Senhor, que não nos deu por preza aos seus dentes.
Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for 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 has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: 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.
