Psalms 123

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:	1 Canticum graduum. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël,
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,	2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis : cum exsurgerent homines in nos,
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,	3 forte vivos deglutissent nos ; cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos,
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.	4 forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos ;
5 Our soul has passed through a torrent. Perhaps, our soul had even passed through intolerable water.	5 torrentem pertransivit anima nostra ; forsitan pertransisset anima nostra aquam intolerabilem.
6 Blessed is the Lord, who has not given us into the harm of their teeth.	6 Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in captionem dentibus eorum.
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.	7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium ; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.	8 Adjutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit cælum et terram.
