Psalms 124

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say),

Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel:

2 Save [for] Jehovah — who hath been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, Cum exurgerent homines in nos,

3 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of their anger against us,

forte vivos deglutissent nos: Cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos.

5 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters.

Torrentem pertransivit anima nostra: forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.

6 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to their teeth.

Benedictus Dominus qui non dedit nos, in captionem dentibus eorum.

7 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium: Laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.

8 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit caelum et terram.
