Salmos 124

1 Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, diga ahora Israel;

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

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

3 Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.

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

4 Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:

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

5 Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

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

6 Bendito Jehová, que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.

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

7 Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.

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

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

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