Salmi 125

BIBBIA CEI 1974	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 'Canto delle ascensioni'. Chi confida nel Signore è come il monte Sion: non vacilla, è stabile per sempre.	1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2 I monti cingono Gerusalemme: il Signore è intorno al suo popolo ora e sempre.	2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us
3 Egli non lascerà pesare lo scettro degli empi sul possesso dei giusti, perché i giusti non stendano le mani a compiere il male.	3 perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4 La tua bontà, Signore, sia con i buoni e con i retti di cuore.	4 perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5 Quelli che vanno per sentieri tortuosi il Signore li accomuni alla sorte dei malvagi. Pace su Israele!	5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
	6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
	7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
	8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
