Salmos 124

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened? Let everyone in Israel say:

2 Se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

If the Lord hadn't been for us, what would have happened when people came and attacked us?

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

They would have swallowed us alive when their anger raged against us.

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

Like a flood they would have swept over us; like a rushing torrent they would have submerged us.

5 Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

They would have rushed over us like raging waters, drowning us.

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

Praise the Lord, who didn't hand us over to them as prey to be ripped apart by their teeth.

7 Nossa alma escapou como um pássaro da armadilha dos caçadores; a cadeia se quebrou, e nós escapamos.

We escaped from them like a bird flying out of a hunter's trap. The trap was broken and we flew away!

8 Nosso socorro está no nome do SENHOR, que fez o céu e a terra.

Our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
