1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

1 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, ora diga Israel:

2 Se não fora o Senhor, que esteve ao nosso lado, quando os homens se levantaram contra nós,

3 eles nos teriam tragado vivos, quando a sua ira se acendeu contra nós;

4 as águas nos teriam submergido, e a torrente teria passado sobre nós;

5 sim, as águas impetuosas teriam passado sobre nós.

6 Bendito seja o Senhor, que não nos entregou, como presa, aos dentes deles.

7 Escapamos, como um pássaro, do laço dos passarinheiros; o laço quebrou-se, e nós escapamos.

8 O nosso socorro está no nome do Senhor, que fez os céus e a terra.
