Salmi 124

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Canticum ascensionum. David. Nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel,	1 [Song of Ascents Of David] If Yahweh had not been on our side -- let Israel repeat it-
2 nisi quia Dominus erat in nobis, cum exsurgerent homines in nos:	2 if Yahweh had not been on our side when people attacked us,
3 forte vivos deglutissent nos, cum irasceretur furor eorum in nos.	3 they would have swal owed us alive in the heat of their anger.
4 Forsitan aqua absorbuisset nos, torrens pertransisset animam nostram;	4 Then water was washing us away, a torrent running right over us;
5 forsitan pertransissent animam nostram aquae intumescentes.	5 running right over us then were turbulent waters.
6 Benedictus Dominus, qui non dedit nos in direptionem dentibus eorum.	6 Blessed be Yahweh for not letting us fall a prey to their teeth!
7 Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est de laqueo venantium: laqueus contritus est, et nos erepti sumus.	7 We escaped like a bird from the fowlers' net. The net was broken and we escaped;
8 Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit caelum et terram.	8 our help is in the name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
