1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

1 Se não fora Jeová que esteve ao nosso lado, Diga, pois, Israel;2 Se não fora Jeová que esteve ao nosso lado, Quando os homens se levantaram contra nós:3 Então nos teriam engolido vivos, Quando a sua ira se acendeu contra nós;4 Então nos teriam submergido as águas, Sobre a nossa alma teria passado a torrente;5 Então sobre a nossa alma teriam passado as águas altivas.6 Bendito seja Jeová, Que não nos entregou, como presa, aos dentes deles.7 A nossa alma, como um pássaro, escapou do laço dos caçadores; Quebrou-se o laço, e nós escapamos,8 O nosso auxílio está em o nome de Jeová, Que fez o céu e a terra.
