ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 125

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ωδη των αναβαθμων εν τω επιστρεψαι κυριον την αιχμαλωσιαν σιων εγενηθημεν ως παρακεκλημενοι	1 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say:
2 τοτε επλησθη χαρας το στομα ημων και η γλωσσα ημων αγαλλιασεως τοτε ερουσιν εν τοις εθνεσιν εμεγαλυνεν κυριος του ποιησαι μετ' αυτων	2 If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us
3 εμεγαλυνεν κυριος του ποιησαι μεθ' ημων εγενηθημεν ευφραινομενοι	3 perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
4 επιστρεψον κυριε την αιχμαλωσιαν ημων ως χειμαρρους εν τω νοτω	4 perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
5 οι σπειροντες εν δακρυσιν εν αγαλλιασει θεριουσιν	5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
6 πορευομενοι επορευοντο και εκλαιον αιροντες τα σπερματα αυτων ερχομενοι δε ηξουσιν εν αγαλλιασει αιροντες τα δραγματα αυτων	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.
