Salmos 124

1 Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, diga ahora Israel;

A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:

2 A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, cuando se levantaron contra nosotros los hombres,

if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,

3 Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.

perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,

4 Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:

perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

5 Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.

6 Bendito Jehová, que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.

Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.

7 Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.

Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.

8 Nuestro socorro es en el nombre de Jehová, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.

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