Salmos 124

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

1A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

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

2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas.

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

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

6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

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