Salmos 124

1Cántico gradual. De David. Si Yahvé no hubiera estado con nosotros —dígalo ahora Israel—

2si no hubiera estado Yahvé de nuestra parte cuando los hombres se levantaron contra nosotros,

3nos habrían tragado vivos al inflamarse contra nosotros su furor;

4entonces nos habrían sumergido las aguas, el torrente habría pasado sobre nosotros

5y nuestra alma habría caído bajo las aguas tumultuosas.

6Bendito sea Yahvé que no nos dio por presa de sus dientes.

7Nuestra vida escapó como un pájaro del lazo de los cazadores. El lazo se ha roto y hemos quedado libres.

8Nuestro socorro está en el Nombre de Yahvé, el que hizo el cielo y la tierra.

1Canticum graduum. [Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,

2nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis: cum exsurgerent homines in nos,

3forte vivos deglutissent nos; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,

4forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos;

5torrentem pertransivit anima nostra; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.

6Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.

7Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.

8Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.]

1If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:

2If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

3Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,

4Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

5Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

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

7Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

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