Salmos 124

1 Si no hubiera sido el Señor quien estuvo de nuestro lado (que Israel ahora diga);

You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

2 Si no hubiera sido el Señor quien estuvo de nuestro lado, cuando los hombres vinieron contra nosotros;

When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

3 Habrían hecho una comida de nosotros mientras vivíamos, en el calor de su ira contra nosotros:

we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

4 Hubiéramos estado cubiertos por las aguas; las corrientes habrían recorrido nuestra alma;

[They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

5 Sí, las aguas del orgullo habrían pasado por nuestra alma.

and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

6 Alabado sea el Señor, que no nos ha dejado herir con sus dientes.

[But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

7 Nuestra alma se ha liberado como un pájaro de la red de los cazadores; la red está rota, y somos libres.

We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

8 Nuestra ayuda está en el nombre del Señor, el hacedor del cielo y de la tierra.

Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
