Psalms 123

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 A Canticle in steps. If the Lord had not been with us, let Israel now say it:	1 Cântico das peregrinações. Levanto os olhos para vós, que habitais nos céus.
2 if the Lord had not been with us, when men rose up against us,	2 Como os olhos dos servos estão fixos nas mãos de seus senhores, como os olhos das servas estão fixos nas mãos de suas senhoras, assim nossos olhos estão voltados para o Senhor, nosso Deus, esperando que ele tenha piedade de nós.
3 perhaps they would have swallowed us alive. When their fury was enraged against us,	3 Tende misericórdia de nós, Senhor, tende misericórdia de nós, porque estamos saturados de desprezo.
4 perhaps the waters would have engulfed us.	4 Nossa alma está em excesso repleta da irrisão dos opulentos e do desprezo dos soberdos.
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.
