Salmos 124

1Diga, Israel: O que seria de nós se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco? 2Se o SENHOR não estivesse conosco, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós, 3Eles teriam nos devorado vivos, quando o furor deles se acendeu contra nós. 4As águas teriam nos coberto, e a corrente de águas teria passado por sobre nossas almas. 5Águas violentas teriam passado por sobre nossas almas. 6Bendito seja o SENHOR, que não nos entregou como presa aos dentes deles. 7Nossa alma escapou como um pássaro da armadilha dos caçadores; a cadeia se quebrou, e nós escapamos. 8Nosso socorro está no nome do SENHOR, que fez o céu e a terra.

1If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say, 2if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us; 3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; 4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; 5then the proud waters would have gone over our soul. 6Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped. 8Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.

1Een lied Hammaaloth, van David. Ten ware de HEERE, Die bij ons geweest is, zegge nu Israel, 2Ten ware de HEERE, Die bij ons geweest is, als de mensen tegen ons opstonden; 3Toen zouden zij ons levend verslonden hebben, als hun toorn tegen ons ontstak. 4Toen zouden ons de wateren overlopen hebben; een stroom zou over onze ziel gegaan zijn. 5Toen zouden de stoute wateren over onze ziel gegaan zijn. 6De HEERE zij geloofd, Die ons in hun tanden niet heeft overgegeven tot een roof. 7Onze ziel is ontkomen, als een vogel uit den strik der vogelvangers; de strik is gebroken, en wij zijn ontkomen. 8Onze hulp is in den Naam des HEEREN, Die hemel en aarde gemaakt heeft.
