Salmos 124

Só Deus pode livrar o seu povo

Cântico dos degraus. De Davi

1 *Sl 94.17Se não fora Jeová que esteve ao nosso lado,

*Sl 129.1diga, pois, Israel;

2 se não fora Jeová que esteve ao nosso lado,

quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

3 então, nos teriam *Sl 35.25;56.1;57.3;Nm 16.30;Pv 1.12engolido vivos,

quando a *Sl 138.7;Gn 39.19sua ira se acendeu contra nós;

4 então, nos *Sl 18.16;32.6;69.2;144.7;Jó 22.11teriam submergido as águas,

sobre a nossa alma teria passado *Jó 38.11a torrente;

5 então, sobre a nossa alma teriam passado as águas altivas.

6 Bendito seja Jeová,

que não nos entregou, *Sl 27.2;Pv 30.14como presa, aos dentes deles!

7 A nossa alma, *Pv 6.5como um pássaro, *Sl 141.10;2Co 11.33;Hb 11.34escapou do *Sl 91.3;Os 9.8laço dos caçadores;

quebrou-se o laço, e nós escapamos.

8 O nosso *Sl 121.2auxílio está em o nome de Jeová,

que fez o céu e a terra.

A Song of Ascents. By David.

1 If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,

let Israel now say,

2 if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side,

when men rose up against us,

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive,

when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us,

the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be Yahweh,

who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare.

The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Our help is in Yahweh’s name,

who made heaven and earth.
