Psalms 123

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA CEI 2008
1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:	1 Canto delle salite. Di Davide.A te alzo i miei occhi,a te che siedi nei cieli.
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,	2 Ecco, come gli occhi dei servialla mano dei loro padroni,come gli occhi di una schiavaalla mano della sua padrona,così i nostri occhi al Signore nostro Dio,finché abbia pietà di noi.
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,	3 Pietà di noi, Signore, pietà di noi,siamo già troppo sazi di disprezzo,
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.	4 troppo sazi noi siamo dello scherno dei gaudenti,del disprezzo dei superbi.
5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.
6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.
7 Our soul has been snatched away like a sparrow from the snare of the hunters. The snare has been broken, and we have been freed.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
