Salmos 124— comparação

1Se não fosse o SENHOR, que esteve do nosso lado,

2se não fosse o SENHOR, que esteve do nosso lado,

3então eles nos teriam engolido vivos,

4então as águas nos teriam encoberto,

5Então as águas altivas teriam passado sobre a nossa alma.

6Bendito seja o SENHOR,

7A nossa alma escapou como um pássaro do laço do passarinheiro.

8O nosso socorro está no nome do SENHOR,

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.
