Psalms 124

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	VULGATA
1 A song of ascents. Of David. I Had not the LORD been with us, let Israel say,	1 Canticum graduum. Qui confidunt in Domino, sicut mons Sion : non commovebitur in æternum, qui habitat
2 Had not the LORD been with us, when people rose against us,	2 in Jerusalem. Montes in circuitu ejus ; et Dominus in circuitu populi sui, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
3 They would have swallowed us alive, for their fury blazed against us.	3 Quia non relinquet Dominus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum : ut non extendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suas,
4 The waters would have engulfed us, the torrent overwhelmed us;	4 benefac, Domine, bonis, et rectis corde.
5 seething waters would have drowned us.	5 Declinantes autem in obligationes, adducet Dominus cum operantibus iniquitatem. Pax super Israël !
6 Blessed be the LORD, who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs.
7 We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare was broken and we escaped.
8 Our help is the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
