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

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

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

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

5 Hubieran entonces pasado sobre nuestra alma las aguas soberbias.

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

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

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

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.
