Salmos 124

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

If it had not been that the Lord was with 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 with us, When men rose up against us,

3 Eles teriam nos devorado vivos, quando o furor deles se acendeu contra nós.

Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

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

Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5 Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be 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 hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. 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.
