< Salmos 124 >

1 Se não fôra o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel;
[A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been Jehovah who was on our side, 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 Jehovah who was on our side, when men rose up against us;
3 Eles então nos teriam engulido vivos, quando a sua ira se acendesse contra nós.
then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;
4 Então as águas teriam trasbordado sobre nós, e a corrente teria passado sobre a nossa alma;
then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;
5 Então as águas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.
then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.
6 Bendito seja o Senhor, que não nos deu por preza aos seus dentes.
Blessed be Jehovah, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
7 A nossa alma escapou, como um pássaro do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapamos.
Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8 O nosso socorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez o céu e a terra.
Our help is in the name of Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.
