Psalms 123

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DIODATI
1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:	1 Cantico di Maalot. IO alzo gli occhi miei a te, Che abiti ne’ cieli.
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,	2 Ecco, come i servi hanno gli occhi alla mano de’ lor padroni; Come la serva ha gli occhi alla mano della sua padrona, Così noi abbiamo gli occhi nostri al Signore Iddio nostro, Infino a tanto ch’egli abbia pietà di noi.
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,	3 Abbi pietà di noi, Signore, abbi pietà di noi; Perciocchè noi siamo molto sazii di disprezzo.
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.	4 L’anima nostra è grandemente sazia Dello scherno degli uomini agiati, dello sprezzo degli altieri
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.
