Salmos 124

Riveduta 1927

1Canto dei pellegrinaggi. Di Davide. Se non fosse stato l’Eterno che fu per noi, lo dica pure ora Israele,

2se non fosse stato l’Eterno che fu per noi, quando gli uomini si levarono contro noi,

3allora ci avrebbero inghiottiti tutti vivi, quando l’ira loro ardeva contro noi;

4allora le acque ci avrebbero sommerso, il torrente sarebbe passato sull’anima nostra;

5allora le acque orgogliose sarebbero passate sull’anima nostra.

6Benedetto sia l’Eterno che non ci ha dato in preda ai loro denti!

7L’anima nostra è scampata, come un uccello dal laccio degli uccellatori; il laccio è stato rotto, e noi siamo scampati.

8Il nostro aiuto è nel nome dell’Eterno, che ha fatto il cielo e la terra.

Reina-Valera 1909

1Cántico gradual: de David. A NO haber estado Jehová por nosotros, diga ahora Israel;

2A no haber estado Jehová por nosotros, cuando se levantaron contra nosotros los hombres,

3Vivos nos habrían entonces tragado, cuando se encendió su furor en nosotros.

4Entonces nos habrían inundado las aguas; sobre nuestra alma hubiera pasado el torrente:

5Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

6Bendito Jehová, que no nos dió por presa á sus dientes.

7Nuestra alma escapó cual ave del lazo de los cazadores: quebróse el lazo, y escapamos nosotros.

8Nuestro socorro es en el nombre de Jehová, que hizo el cielo y la tierra.

King James Version

1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

World English Bible

1If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, let Israel now say,

2if it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

4then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8Our help is in the LORD’s name, who made heaven and earth.
