Salmos 124

1 Cântico dos degraus, de Davi: Diga, Israel: O que [seria de nós] se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco?

A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was among us, let Israel now say;

2 Se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco, 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 Eles teriam nos devorado vivos, quando o furor deles se acendeu contra nós.

verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 As águas teriam nos coberto, [e] a corrente de águas teria passado por sobre nossas almas.

verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

5 Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

Yea, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

6 Bendito seja o SENHOR, que não nos entregou como presa aos dentes deles.

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

7 Nossa alma escapou como um pássaro da armadilha dos caçadores; a cadeia se quebrou, e nós escapamos.

Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

8 Nosso socorro 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.
