Psalms 124

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

A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, díga lo ahora Israel:

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

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

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

Vivos nos tragaran entonces: cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros:

4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.

Entonces las aguas inundaran sobre nosotros: el arroyo pasara sobre nuestra alma.

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

Entonces pasaran sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

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

Bendito Jehová que no nos dio por presa a sus dientes.

7 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.

Nuestra alma, como ave, escapó del lazo de los cazadores: el lazo se quebró, y nosotros escapamos.

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

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