1 Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, Diga ahora Israel;2 A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, Cuando se levantaron contra nosotros los hombres,3 Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, Cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.4 Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; Sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:5 Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.6 Bendito Jehová, Que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.7 Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: Quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.8 Nuestro socorro es en el nombre de Jehová, Que hizo el cielo y la tierra.

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.
