Psalms 124


font
NEW AMERICAN BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 A song of ascents. Of David. I Had not the LORD been with us, let Israel say,1 Canticum ascensionum. David.
Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis,
dicat nunc Israel,
2 Had not the LORD been with us, when people rose against us,2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis,
cum exsurgerent homines in nos:
3 They would have swallowed us alive, for their fury blazed against us.3 forte vivos deglutissent nos,
cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos.
4 The waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;4 Forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos,
torrens pertransisset animam nostram;
5 seething waters would have drowned us.5 forsitan pertransissent animam nostram
aquae intumescentes.
6 Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs.6 Benedictus Dominus,
qui non dedit nos in direptionem dentibus eorum.
7 We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare was broken and we escaped.7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est
de laqueo venantium:
laqueus contritus est,
et nos erepti sumus.
8 Our help is the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.8 Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini,
qui fecit caelum et terram.
